Any body have any or a good source ?

I have a few gaskets left in my collection. How many are you looking for?

Bob,
2 would be great. Send me a private message thru the site with price and contact info and we"ll hook up. Sure would be nice to have a source for these since the small series Bender is a very popular motor. R.E.A.R.

I could easily make a CAD/DXF file to get these water jet or laser cut. If you want to do this, someone send me a good gasket to:
Ted Johnson
P.O. Box 1275
Arizona City, AZ 85123

I can email anyone the file free, and they can get their own gaskets cut at a local water jet or even laser shop. They can cut either paper type, or copper gaskets very nicely. I could get them done at the Waterjet Cutting, Inc. shop in Albuquerque, but they are not cheap, and we'd have to supply the dead soft copper sheet. They're also very tied up doing local industry, as well as Sandia National Labs work, so they're not very quick. They ARE, however, very good people and do great work. Ted

Teddy,

Thank you for your generous offer, its very much appreciated.

Seems that the major hurdle in solving this issue is finding a [water jet-lazer] service to cut out very small quanities of gaskets.

I, like many others don't want to corner the market on gaskets so my needs are low and having a 'run' of them made is really cost prohibited.

Perhaps some of the so called motor builders or parts suppliers are reading this and maybe they might want to step up and have a quanity cut out but its most likely not going to happen so it appears 'begging' like I did or even cuttting them out with scissors may be the only practical resources available.

Thanks again....R.E.A.R.

Pricey but available... Maybe he would cut you some slack... Worth a try...

Virg.

Thanks for the heads up.

Here's where the problems start, I only need the exhaust gasket and $20.00 is a little steep for one gasket.

Bob Alexander should have me fixed up this time but it looks like buying material and punching out individual gaskets might be the only other route in the future .

Stay warm....R.E.A.R.

Bob,

Got the stuff. Thanks.
