Default RE: gasket

This is what Popper says will work. It was in 1/10th compatable parts thread.
Exhaust Header Gasket.

HPI part# A875
Comes with 5 Gaskets
They're a little bit bigger than stock but the holes line up perfectly. Work great.

$2.50 Hobbytown.

I had the same problem. the bolts worked their way out from vibration. so i went to canadian tire (you could go to any automotive place) and get a gasket large enough to cut a template out of. just put a piece of paper over the area on the muffler side (it's bigger) and do a rubbing....and tah-dah you have your template.

Yeah, I got mine at Pep Boys...Cost like $7 or $8, I cut 1 strip 3/8" (the size of the exhaust manifold opening) and got 5 gaskets out of it, with still enough for at least 2...and this is a 12" long roll, so....do the math...but it does take some skill and patience with the x-acto...
