dajogejr Posted October 28, 2007 Report 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
shanYE west Posted October 28, 2007 Report 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
jbooker82 Posted October 29, 2007 Report 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

jbooker82 Posted October 29, 2007 Report 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

FireHead Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 thanx for all the leads guys now i can go do some shoppin! i have a feeling though that cascade dont ship to aus... I'd call them and ask. They might do it if you bought more than $20 worth of stuff. :thumbsup: Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted November 5, 2007 Report 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
