marki Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi John. I'm guessing that's the one, I think there is also one that fits in a groove ? My rocker cover is flat so would need a gasket to suit. Perhaps I'll give them a call. Thanks for the reply. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I think i have a 'spare' silicon gasket in the garage if you want it Mark. Â I bought from the us when i bought my tr6, but it turned out to have a racetorations rocker cover so i had Darryl make me a new o ring for it. Â Happy to post it if its what you need?

TR NIALL Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Mark I bought 4 of the Wide Gaskets from Rimmers while at Lincoln,they are not as Thick as the narrow ones but I've not had any problem with an Alloy Cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GT6M Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Why no doo as i did, an mek yer own.  just get some thick rubber,or similar, lay yer box on it. and use a sharp stanley knife or similar, and cut it oot  then wen thats done, inside can be med as wide as wanted just by drawing a line to where ye want to cut it, simples 1/2 hour tops  M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niall, You buying 4 from Rimmers at Lincoln explains why I could only get 1 instead of the 2 that I wanted, stocks very low!! I've had leaks over the years from the alloy rocker cover corners with the standard thick gasket as the corners aren't "square" enough for the alloy unit. Without the recess in the standard pressed steel cover to retain the thick gasket they are difficult to seat accurately. They only appear to me to be thick to be able to sit in the recess. I'm reasonably confident that when I fit the wide, thin one it will be more than adequate. Â Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jean Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) I would not go for rubber, years ago I bought a square meter of cork, as I had endless leak problems with a Triumph Tune cover. The cover roundings are different from the cyl.head. So I purchased 2 sheets of different thickness and did cut out the seal to match both surfaces. Never had any problem later on. Best to glue the cork to the cover with light adhesive before fitting and a little oil or silicone sealer at the bottom side. In so far the cork will stay in place when you fit the cover.
