    Didn't know you could get rubber rocker cover gaskets!

    They fit all 8v engines? Loads better seal than cork ones I would think

    I think you have to fit a later rocker cover as they have round inserts that go into the seal and stop the cover being tightened down too far.

    I did think that after posting reply

    Even with gasket sealant I can't stop the crap cork gasket leaking on my sport, only done 350 miles ffs

    I'm sure there is a rubber coated cork gasket that is a later part number but I have no idea what it is

    The rubberised one again is used for the later rocker cover. I was told by a technician where I used to work to fit the gasket with grease. I did it and it has been on over 3 years with no signs of a leak so far.

    So....

    Started on the RH door yesterday evening (poor quality smartphone pics):




    Knackered wires...




    'New' door...


    Sanded off the rust and treated it with rust stopper and zinc spray










    Fitted!


    I'm sourcing B pillar vinyls at the moment...

    Yeah! There were very easy to remove. But these are the later longer type door pins. And I had access to the right tools to drive them out.
    Was only a 2 minute job...

    Mine are the shorter roll pins
    I keep giving them a spray with wd40
    So hope when I get around to it they'll drop out!


    Bet they don't.
