I am replacing the cam cover gasket on my 1850 but it seems too wide to fit between the outside lip and the inside one (where the metal bends). I have done this before but can't remember having a problem.
I think it was from Rimmers, has anybody else had this, if so does anybody know of another supplier?

You want GEG447, Robsport https://robsport.co.uk/index.php/online ... kets-sealshas it and so does http://www.tdfitchett.co.uk/store/dolom ... 50-geg447/ tdfitchett.
Can't comment on the quality, don't have an 1850, but Robsport are my go to supplier. Never had a duff part and they have reasonable postage.
It looks cork like the 1500 one, I had to use some sealant to stick it inside the cover to make it fit. Don't know if that would work for the 1850.

Re: Cam Cover Gasket
TD Fitchett is another supplier I'd recommend. S&S Preparations are also worth a try.

Re: Cam Cover Gasket
The names listed are retailers, there are limited ‘suppliers’ for these items and most source stock from the same places...or from each other.

Re: Cam Cover Gasket
I needed some bits so I thought that I would get them from Robsport and include a cam cover gasket.
Sure enough, as you can see from the photo below, it is thinner.
However, as the other photos show, it is too long.
Luckily I have found an old gasket in reasonable condition that seems to fit.
