dajogejr Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Beings as you're in AUS. Find a place that will ship to you. Many retailers will ship to AUS....and will be cheaper than OEM if you buy a few from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 If it was me I would stay with the OEM base gasket unless your motor needs a special thickness. The OEM might be more money but its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I get my gaskets from a guy on ebay that makes them. He sells 6 base gaskets for 15-20 bucks, and sells 10 reed gaskets for 10 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I got my Reed gaskets from dannym44. Looks like his price has went up a couple of bucks. 12.50 for 10. I did have to trim them a little to fit the v force reeds. (The one that goes inbetween the cylinder and reed) Dannym44's auctions LINK I got the Base Gaskets from thehulajay. He also makes the reed gaskets. I am sure he would sell you any combo you wanted. thehulajay's auction LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call them and ask. They might do it if you bought more than $20 worth of stuff. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I had three sets and used the Cometic ones, the coating on those metal gaskets seemed like a better product. I asked around, Cometic was the favored one.. I paid about $25 for that gasket kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
