old-tank Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Best to make your own using cork/rubber gasket material. Put some cardboard on the floor and lay the pan on the material after rolling it out. While kneeling on the pan, cut the outside with a utility knife and then drill 5/16 holes. Turn the pan and gasket over and using some pan bolts hold the gasket to the pan; then cut out the inside. I use 1/8 material which is thicker than the supplied gaskets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemon Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 All the vendors have pretty much the same stuff. Call ahead and see who ships the fastest, in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemon Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I've always gone through CARs, some go through Bob's, others through Classic Buicks. And then there's Kanter, and Fusick (Fusick usually being my pick out of the two). Just take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
