If you can afford it and can find them buy genuine Honda gasket sets for top and bottom. Can't go wrong, they fit perfectly everytime and you get almost everything you need except the pontefract cakes.

I've always called them that, not sure anyone else did but started to refer to them like that when I first joined and it seems to have caught on.

Sesman mentioned it on here a while ago and made a mental note to use where applicable. It tickled me at the time ;D its' so apt. You're such a hip, 'trend setter' ken ;) ;D

And failing that? Vesrah? Ive used a few of them before on two stroke gubbins and seem to be reasonable. Would such a thing be a suitable alternative?

I’ve had real problems finding Vesrah full kits. I recommend buying the top end set and separate alternator and clutch gaskets. Nurse Julie stocks the liquorice.
