I have a leaking carburetor and I plan on making a new gasket for it, but I
am not sure what type of paper I can use. Can I use pretty much anything?
Like the paper from an orange juice? Or do I need to buy some special
gasoline-resistant gasket paper?
+mustie1 Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I will go check that out. PS. My leaking carburetor is for another car (a UAZ-469b), but I actually have a VW Transporter myself. It's a T3, 1.7 Turbodiesel engine, 9 seats, from 1990. No rust. I love it. It's the most practical car I have ever had. It still baffles me that they discontinued the series and started producing that horrible T4...
Wow that is frigging cool man great video. I had a 72 bug back in the late 70's It was a great car, but took forever to get heat from the heat box. Are parts still kinda cheap like they used to be.
Yep im a regular but its allways good to be reminded how to do something,
especially if we havnt made a gasket for a while.
When i was a lad, i used the back of a cornflakes box lol, works fine, as
long as its just a general gasket.
I used to use red hylomar to glue the paper to the surface, then go round
with a craft knife, just another way :-))
