New release - better gaskets

worntorn · Jun 14, 2017

I only mentioned the Cometics in response to the poster who is looking for a good MK3 primary gasket, which you don't offer at present.
Your silicone gaskets look good and are a little less expensive than the Cometics .
For me, there has been no issue using the Cometics in the areas I mentioned.
They really dried up a leaky old bike.
I'm sure your silicone gaskets would do the same.

I tried to use nitrile O rings to seal BSA seal holder to slider joint, it cracked on the OD where it was exposed, I now use PTFE tape and Loctite 510, the unused O rings are in the garage unsealed and open to the air but in the dark, it will be the UV light that gets at the Nitrile not the ozone.

You're probably right about the UV light instead of ozone. Use silicone Orings in this situation - it solved my problems with exposed Orings. But they don't resist wear (continuous rubbing) as well as Nitril. Aren't some Command points seals silicone?

Standard gearbox and primary gaskets seem to turn to mush over time regardless of use (or not). I'd buy some of those in a heartbeat or even some of the sheet goods to make some.

Danno - I added the tranny gaskets (and a few others) to my website, see below.

Robs SS - the timing cover gasket fits either Commando or Atlas magneto type. The triangular magneto gasket is nice because it doesn't need sealer and you can loosen the mag, move it to adj the chain and it will be oil tight again. I've never had such an oil tight (as in dry) Norton before.

Tranny cover

Tranny intermetiate gasket

Tranny inspection cover

Magneto Atlas style

Sump reed valve breather to case (Combat location)

Thanks, I'll give those a try next time.
