Default Focus RS 1.8mm Head Gasket

Anyone know where I can get one from, I thought they were meant to be around £60 but Ford told me they were £115! Burton are showing them at £100. Anyone know anywhere else?

If they still do the mls gaskets, its possible to remove the rivits and use more centre bits to make a thicker gasket up.

No, it's used if a head has been heavily skimmed or in conjunction with an ST170 bottom end for Zetec turbo builds.
Standard thickness is 1mm IIRC?

Burton told me they had stock then decided that it was minimum of 3 weeks after I paid! Cancelled that and just got stung by Fords for £140.
