as the description says where can you get them and what do you use. you buy the oil screen filter kit and it comes with the two gaskets and one crush ring not two.

for now I am using a neoprene washer as a gasket, I think I have read where some guys use copper washers. is that correct and if so size and where to get would be very helpful. I am trying hard to do things right to the point I bought a torque wrench that goes down to 5 lbs so I could avoid over torqueing the strainer nut.

thanks in advance

Far in the past, there were 2 sealing rings per kit. Cheapness rules, and they've removed one of them. Mose folks don't remove the drain plug, I think, so the second ring isn't really necessary. I suppose I could contact my gasket guy and ask him if he has them in bulk. That's predicated, of course, demand for them. I have a $100 minimum order ..............

I don't bother to change the copper gasket (what's left) on my drain plug. I just put it back on. On the oil sump, I used the gaskets and copper washer as you describe.

The price is good, but they charge you freight (USPS Priority Mail) and the price break is at 50. If I bought a hundred for $30, add in the postage (about 8 bucks), and the outgoing postage to forum members, they'd be 88 cents apiece. Of course, that would go down for orders for more than one piece. If I can get enough orders for 10 per order, I can do this for $6.50 for 10, delivered. Sure, I make a little money, but it's not like it covers the hassle or anything.

Hey Cap'n - can you get the sump gaskets & seal and offer a complete kit for the lazy sob's like me? I would go for 10 kits.

Shipping 10 kits brings on more shipping costs. 4 bucks a set, plus whatever the postage is. That's maybe 43 bucks, delivered, including a buck for Mr. Paypal? The gaskets are the nice German ones, not those POS thin Sabo gaskets.

somehow I suspect I am not the only one that has run into this. Captn, if you decide to do that I would be in for 10 of them; otherwise I'll bite the bullet and get 50 myselfe and never need to buy another one again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

These are available from AA at a $1.00 each the size is 22x27mm, of course you have the minimum shipping issue... You might be able to get a bunch at a place like this for the same shipping or less and probably less per piece in a larger quantity: http://www.mcmaster.com/# Sometimes I'll do a Google search with just the part # to see what options pop up too. The Porsche part # is 90012301130

Nice try. Right diameter. Wrong part.

I'm game for a group buy and I'm good for 20. If you buy 250 the shipping is free from Belmetric.

Anybody else just do the drain plug/washer and oil filter without the sump thingy? I've never cleaned out that strainer thing. Or replaced the gasket. It's big and scary looking, like it won't seal again. Am I going to air-cooled hell?? Save me, Cap'n!

Well, I lost track of this one! Sorry. My source is out right now, but I have another, I think. I'll get on this Monday and see what I can do.

I do the screen every time. There's apt to be glop and other nasty stuff on there, stuff you want to monitor.

Just a customer. Al Zim has the original that's in the screen kit to sell individually.
