Air filter box gasket

<< < (2/2)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If you search on e bay for sponge gasket strips there are quite a few that look like they might be suitable.
This is one I found comes in various profiles that you could use.
In the past I have use Hylomar Gasket Maker on car parts.

Thanks for that.
Well you've just given me a solution for the damaged seal on the under seat tool box anyway.
And £2 a metre is the sort of price that my wallet likes.
Looks like it would be quite easy to cut this stuff and join it with contact adhesive to fit a complex shape

Oddjob:
Why not try using some of this stuff, proper ORing gasket material, most likely the same as Honda used, square section, so it should sit right. Just order a couple of metres and experiment. Fairly sure other models use the same type of stuff, wasn't there the same type of stuff around the black bomber air filter housing?

Many thanks  !
Once again the price of the stuff is much to my liking.
I think I might just buy a bit of everything and start to experiment

Oddjob:
If you find one that works fine then you can let others know what worked, what size to order or even make a few and sell them yourself. I’d use some gel type glue to bond the stuff in place and probably some super glue to join the ends so it’s got no joint to leak past.
