question Custom Head Gasket

[Marmite!!]

I'm in the process of of restoring a 1929 Rover Light Six Sportsman's Saloon. Can anyone recommend a company in the UK that manufactures custom Head Gaskets? I have contacted a few companies but they only make gaskets from solid materials & said they can not make a gasket in a soft material which I need for this head.

Brooky (Chris) mentioned a firm to me recently re: making a scammell gasket. I haven't tried them yet but you could give them a whirl.

These 2 sites may be able to help you or you could try a Loctite or other silicon product.

I haven't used either company, so I can't say how good they are.

It may be worth double checking with Meteor Spares to see if they have one in stock: http://www.thersr.co.uk/meteor-spares-ltd

Have you tried the Rover Sports Register Forum?

Just read this thread, here's my penance worth, l have had dealings with a firm called (gasketstogo.com) they are a foreign company, l have ordered all sorts of gaskets in the past from small generator engines to vehicle engines, pricing is very fair and have alway come up trumps for me. It would probably help them if you could give them the old one to use as a template?
