Exhaust gasket

[Stan Nicholson]

I am not sure if this has been covered before but can someone tell me if there is a suitable substitute for the copper/asbestos? exhaust pipe gasket between cylinder and pipe used on the Challenger/Silverstone motors?
If there is a car or another bike part that works could you tell me the model so I can try and track it down this side of the Atlantic or if there is a supplier of this part in the UK I can order from, that would be great.
Thank you,
Stan

Exhaust gasket

I have never seen or used a gasket between the barrels and pipes on either 250 or 360 challengers.
Never had problems.

I bought a supply some years ago on e-bay. I can't remember which Jap bike they were made for but they were 38mm internal diameter, a tight fit.

1.5 inches i.d fit better if you can get them.

Hi Stan,

Copper exhaust rings are available to fit most engines from Terry Sewell.

Check his website;- www.tdsclassicmotorcycles.com. He is well known in the UK and is a member of the GRA.
