Anybody Interested....
As you know, you can no longer get the Gen Ford Exhaust gaskets and quite frankley from my experiance the aftermarket ones are the wrong shape and quite frankley pants!
I am looking to try and get some of these made out of copper to the exact dimensions as the original ford item?
Would anyone be interested?

I just spoke to my Ford parts department and they reckon the gaskets are still available??
The two I have here are the type with the fire-ring and are that kind of black'ish colour.
