Paul H Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hi any tips how to hold the cork gasket in place when refitting the alloy rocker cover . Every time I do it I get a leak mostly at the rear of the rocker cover The alloy rocker cover might look the part but with no retaining groove it’s a pig to get the gasket right Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I think I used hylomar on the Spitfire 1300. Probably not correct but its one of the few places that doesn't leak .. at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 dont use cork on alloy covers get a lifetime neoprene one from club shop not sealer it just stays flat in place ( guess who started that design off with garth ) they do them for 4cyl and 6 cyl. covers you cant use them in a tin cover thats def. Cork or similar Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cork or similar Pete Hi Pete thanks for neoprene gasket idea . Will purchase when I visit the shop or will the shop be at Duxford ? Club Shop postage is a no no for me and it’s time they sorted it as they are missing business . I know l could ring the shop but shouldn’t have to Rant over Sorted the cork gasket for the time being as used Wellseal to “glue “ the cork gasket to the cover . Clamped the edges over night and gasket is in place . Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 shop postage is negotiable for light items you need to call and get martyn or angie then its just the cost of an envelope/jiffy there is common sense but its not printed , and online doesnt have any empathy talk to the staff is the answer shop is at duxford Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy enough to expand the system to cater for smaller weights to for small postage items . Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 have asked tom H to have a look at the negatives of the 1kg min , this is on line , always call and speak to angie or martyn about small item and postage bear in mind rimmers want £21.90 for a 6cly and £4.20 postage, where as club price is £10 4cyl £12 6 cly so add a phone call gets cheap postage ..win win !!!
