Any one know where to get these gaskets from????
Im running a set at the moment, but when i change the heads i want to replace the gaskets, (ones in the picture i have been loaned)
Im going to open up the exhaust ports to match the gaskets also once i have a set.
the only ones i have found so far are these, which i have been told are catalic ones

Looks like RPI does them too, they have a set on fleebay but they include studs and nuts. Probably do gaskets on their own tho. Have you tried Jim? That's who you got your last set from wasn't it?

The ones you're after look like the twin metal composite ones I get from RPI.

"Here's one I prepared earlier".
The port dimensions are 26mm wide 37.5mm high. The ones I've bought previously aren't as chunky as these but the port dimensions are the same. You can't see it from the picture, but they're about 2mm thick and consist of a fibrous matrix with a wire mesh through the middle of it.

ah yeah seen them before,
im trying to locate the ones that i have in the pictures, as these seem to be the best ones i have used for sealing so far.

Sorry those aren't what you want.
By chance I came across this advert recently which looks very similar to the ones you asked about:

I haven't seen these in the flesh though.
