Hi All -
I was just notified by Pelican that the gasket I need for the rear plate on my tail shift transmission needs to be ordered from Porsche Germany and will take three weeks. The last time this happened with a PP order, I called three weeks later and was informed that the part was NLA (that is another issue all to it's own). So, I thought I would try and make my own. I have done this before, using cork, and it began to seep a bit over time. Do any of you have any reccomendations on the best material and thickness? It is sealing transmission fluid if that matters. Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Scott S |

I scanned the original and then printed this on the plotter paper I used a punch for the holes and cut the rest out with scissors. It doesn't not leak. |
