mark99 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Anyone know where to buy the gaskets for inlet outlet conbections to Gardner water pumps? Connection is a flanged 2 bolt affair.

dmr Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 If its just a bog standard gasket then the most flexible option is to make it yourself. Gasket material, of various types, is available on eBay, there is most likely even a variety pack with various types and thickness's of material. A pencil, Stanley knife and scissors is all that is needed though a set of hole punches makes it much easier to make neat and tidy bolt holes. I find gasket making quite relaxing, this very moment I am sat at the saloon table (in a rainy Salthouse dock) with a sheet of neoprene and a pair of scissors cutting out pigeon box porthole gaskets. ........Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddyboater Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 As Dave said it's quite easy to make your own. I did a couple for my 3L2 ram pump out of a sheet of Mafco cork-rubber, bought from a local motor factors. It's just the right thickness, not expensive and there's plenty of it for any little mistakes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi, I used to (50 odd years ago) tap out gaskets for my motorbike engine, fitted them with some red Hematite, worked a treat, have used the same method for thermostat gaskets on a BMC 1.5, always used empty cornflake packets. Best of luck. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesthenuke Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 These people have them or at least think they do as they have multiple sizes the right shape. http://gardnerspares.com/engine-type/3lw/page/3/?filtering=1&filter_engine-part=individual-gaskets-seals Alternatively try Tony Redshaw in Daventry.
