Marmite!! Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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.

Lauren Child Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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. http://www.classiccarwebsite.com/johnson-gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) These 2 sites may be able to help you or you could try a Loctite or other silicon product. http://www.ferriday.co.uk/ http://www.easeals.co.uk/vintageparts.html I haven't used either company, so I can't say how good they are.

Runflat Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICHAEL01 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 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? regards Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
