    Intake Gaskets for Eurosport Twinscrew or Shrick-type Manifolds...

    I needed a new gasket to correct a vacuum leak on my own S-52 engine'd car, and since these are NLA through any source, decided to get a stack of them made while I was at it in case anyone needed one too.

    These are 1/16" thick (.063") or about 1-1/2-times the thickness of the original Shrick gaskets (.038"). I was looking to get a little extra crush, shooting for 50% thicker than the original gasket, but not so thick to affect the compressor's bearing snout support alignment.

    EDIT: Proven yesterday 3/17/2018 that the gasket DOES NOT affect drive snout support bracket.
    Also passed the smoke test today, and I expect the first test drive in about another hour or so...


    I was able to get the individual gasket price down to $40.00 (from $70!) plus $18.00 for Priority Mail 2-Day shipping (lower 48). Whether purchasing one or several gaskets, I expect the shipping cost to remain the same.

    Please make payment via PayPal, and be sure to include your ship to address: SPORTSCARSPLUS@AOL.COM

    Thank you!

    Thank you, I should have the USPS mailing tubes in a couple days, and I'll attach your email to the form for tracking notices.

    I've already put one (1) of the gaskets to good use (!) finally taking care of the vacuum leak in my own car. It looks like the leak was a result of the support bracket underneath the compressor worked itself loose, putting more pressure on the bottom of the flange/gasket and too little on the top; all six (6) ports had the gasket being sucked into the ports, the #3 runner being the first to breach.

    Check those brackets!

    Payment sent for two. I assumed that you could double up on shipping

    Absolutely! However, address required for shipping (they're packed and on the kitchen island).

    PayPal received, thank you (but no address listed)!

    I'm down to my last couple of gaskets, and have another ES/TS installation coming up, plus a revamp of my own setup.

    You might try Andy Petit at Clownshoe Motorsports in Dallas, Texas. About the same time I was working on them, he had just finished making some out of (thick) Teflon, though they were intended for a custom intake manifold, IIRC.
