I'm not happy with the cardboard gaskets supplied by Stationary Engine Parts - too thin and badly fitting in my view.

I'm going to buy some gasket sheet. What thickness would forum members recommend for a Lister D please?

Many thanks.

0.75mm or there about, they aren't thick. I have used thick heavyweight paper before with good results, just scan the original gaskets onto the paper and cut them out.

Cornflake packets work well with a smear of grease.

Both comments really helpful, thank you. I was about to buy some 'proper' gaskets material. Now I am wondering if I need to do that!
