<< When I got this
squareback two years ago, I remember I needed the copper gaskets that are
just like rings, like the ones on the oil drain plate, but much bigger. I
remember discussing this with the list, but I forgot where I got the
gaskets. I imagine I will need to get new gaskets for this when I replace
the muffler. >>
I seem to remember that the discussion led to the use of t-4 gaskets, that
needed to have the corners rounded. Last year when I did mine (for my Notch), I
used some 1 1/8 ID hard drawn copper tubing (cut to about 3/16ths wide). Russ
Wolfe suggested using thermocouples as they are soft, copper and work great if
you cut the ends to get it to seal when tightened. I hope this helps.
