Where to buy a Starion diff gasket from?

Post by Lummy »

Now that I'm putting my diffs back together, I'm need of a couple of gaskets for the rear covers....any ideas where I can get them from?

Another option is to use the liquid gasket stuff - I have some Permatex brand, but I'm not sure how it would go.

easy to make one!

get some gasket paper from your local auto shop, run a pencil around the outside of the housing and cut it to shape.

clamp in place or tap out a couple of bolt holes and stick em in to hold it in place.

the inside lip and bolt holes can be easily cut to shape by gently tapping around with a ball pein hammer, best to do bolt holes last to avoid tearing the gasket around the hole.

this will require a little patience but the end result will be a better fitting gasket than what you could buy.
If at first you don't succeed, maybe skydiving just wasn't your sport!

Faki is right just buy gasket apper and gasket goo. I make all my own gaskets ( well except head gaskets, they dont seem to work too well ) I just made one for my diff and it works fine.
