just get a payen IMO, they just work and last.
FAI have been good and bad on various engines, never had a Payen fail prematurely.

Its alright dude, I thought I had found 1 of a suitable thickness, the bore is wrong though so its back to the drawing board.
Don't suppose you have a part number for the gasket you used aswell as a thickness?

i just used an st170 payen gasket, no chance i'd have the part number i'm afraid, i used the cardboard for mixing filler on lol!
i believe it was 1.1 mm thick mls, bloody hell the little things are hard to remember.
it's about time you bought a frs box isn't it
