    Default carb to inlet gasket

    Hi all - just a quickie, What is the best/most suitable gasket material to make a gasket to go between carb adapter plate and the inlet? theres lots off different types and i know not to use the cork stuff

    Cheers

    ime the thicker the better. but lots of places dont sell the thick stuff anymore

    worst case, get some cereal box and smear gasket goo on that
