The gaskets are bonded onto the covers,they are not available on there own Its a right job to get the covers sealed if you have removed the seals alltogether  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

I once discussed this with Pugjim,..Could a cast of the bottom of the cam covers Be made and Then make a gasket that would fit perfectly? ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
