what kind of gasket material to use

Posted by Cli55er On 2009/6/25 14:02:33
instead of buying the $10 gasket from max and waiting for it to get here....what type of material should i use to recreate the gasket myself. paper, rubber and cork, fiber....etc. original looked like fiber to me and the local auto store has sheets i can buy.

also is there a certain thickness to take into consideration?

this is the only thing holding me back from putting the steering box back on the car.

2nd.....what type of oil seal should i get to replace the one on the steering box....does anyone have the factory measurements on the inside diameter....mine was worn out and i know the outside diameter.

this is for the steering box on a 55 clipper w/ bendix.
