yea tone i bought the rubber 1 thinking it would be better,
i will ring the company i bought the gasket from, they do a ally 1 coated in rubber/foam.
will tell them what happened and see if they offer me a different 1.
if not i will order 1.
thanks for the offer. if i dont get any joy getting a new 1 i will take you up on that.
