Gasket alternatives?

Postby <523b.html?mode=viewprofile&u=731">mike.vw » Thu Jul 01, 2010 11:23 pm

Are there any RTV gasket makers that can be used for the main gasket on the float bowls? I just got mine apart and cleaned them out and need to put them back together and one isn't all too hot, and I figured maybe some color RTV?

Any alternatives for the slow idle bung as well?

Thanks!

The best alternative in this case is new ones.

Contact this seller and he can help you buy only a pair instead of 4.

Put your bike model/year and where you are in the world under your Avatar or in a signature and it will make targeting help and suppliers easier :)
