Sump gasket

Hi,

Anyone know the best place to purchase an oil sump gasket?

Cheers

Halfords. It's called silicone RTV.

But seriously, the Mazda 12A gasket is horrendously priced for what is essentially a piece of thick card with some holes in it.

I've got a spare in the shed.

Don't bother with a sump gasket..... clean the 2 surfaces off really well, remove all traces of oil and dirt with brake cleaner and then use RTV silicon....... that's what I used when I swapped my sump and it's never leaked a drop. Once I'd bolted the sump back on, I didn't rest the engines weight on it for a couple of days to give the silicon chance to cure.
RTV silicon all the way for me..... the stuff I used is in my Elford conversion thread.
