BRDM Driver Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Anyone know a company that can make exhaust gaskets? I need 2 for my BRDM2. Best option so far is buying a sheet of Klinger Ferroflex and getting it water jet cut to shape, but it seems to be working out expensive...

rbrtcrowther Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have in the past made them from copper sheet cut with tin snips and hole punches ect then lay them on some plywood and soften them up with a blowtorch. done 500 miles so far with the scammell most of them at full throttle no leaks so far and cost about £10..

BRDM Driver Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi Paul, I gave up trying to get any spares from Poland or Czech Rep. I ended up getting new manifolds made here in the UK, so just need gaskets now. If you know anyone with BRDM2 spares let me know. I'm after the motor and control box for the engine cover louvers. I think these go on most BRDM's so I'll probably end up making one of these too! At least it will last longer than standard items. The stock manifolds literally fell to bits they were so cracked.

BRDM Driver Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well it looks like Klinger Ltd of Southampton have come up trumps! Klinger make all sorts of gasket material including some very high performance materials for high temps. They also do water cutting so they are doing 2 sets of gaskets for me at a very good price. This is a bit of plug for them as they have shown me some great service! I hope to get the BRDM going again in the next few weeks....
