Smile Cometic Rocker Cover Gasket
Hi there folks
Just a quick query i have removed the rocer cover to spray it a different colour and i am sure that i read somewhere that the gasket was re-useable but was not sure if this was true, so can any one confirm or not weather i have read correct .

Cheers

Yes you can re-use the rocker cover gasket providing it's in good condition.
