Brass exhaust seals

Post by Wicky »

Here's a nifty idea to replace the pesky graphite exhaust seals with brass ones.

Edit They're quite expensive but according to this thread someone has used modified sintered bronze bushes instead.

How does it seal wicky
Is the graphite softer and crushes a bit
Good idea using a bronze piece with less waste

Good idea that. Spacers that's all that is required they don't have to crush as cheapo exhaust sealant can be used which 9 times out of 10 is required anyway. Now who can make some of these up then. :biggrin
