I just make them. NAPA has thick paper gasket material. Package store has beer. Proper application of both turns out nice new CV gaskets.

When you are in a pinch for thinner gaskets.... you only need the package store.... I was working on a dirt bike with a friend... went a way for a few hours and when I came back he had cut some gaskets out of thin carton cardboard.... in that case I think it was blue Pepsi gaskets.

Thanks for the replys guys.
Joe , I've made gaskets before back in my Navy days , so I think I will give it a try. Don't have much to lose. Just didn't know this would work for this application. By the way , I drilled out my bolts to 0.040 inches to allow some 0.032 inch lock wire. We'll see how that works. Thanks again for the info. Tom |
