Hi All,
Rimmer Bros have 1850 versions of those for £21.50 delivered in their sale. Has anyone fitted them? Any feedback?
Thanks in advance.

I can't see any benefit over a normal £5 gasket that doesn't leak.

If you buy one, can you tell me how you get on.

I have had problems with these both from Rimmers (cork too wide) and Robsport(too long overall)

Managed to get hold of a NOS which seems fine but a silicon one may well be a good solution.

I know a couple of the Stag guys bought some silicon Gaskets,they had trouble with them leaking,so went back to standard cork

Given the choice, I would use cork (1850) or paper (Sprint) with a smear of silicone sealer (mainly to adhere the gasket to the cambox) Best of both worlds! 8)
