Can you make gaskets?

Yes! We usually have one or two people hand cutting gaskets Monday through Friday. We keep a stock of felt, paper, cork rubber, neoprene, and high temp composition material on hand. We can hand cut felt, cork, neoprene gaskets and seals (We do NOT have the capability of reproducing any stamped metal seals). We can also hand cut head and manifold gaskets from our high temperature composition material. We can also do steel rule die cutting for high volume gasketing needs.

We keep a large inventory of patterns on hand. As a result we can supply gaskets for many obsolete engines from 1900-1960. This is our specialty. If we don’t have a pattern on hand we can make it based on a customer’s pattern. The best pattern is the old gasket that came off the engine. In the event that the old gasket is not salvageable then we can make gaskets based on a tracing (on a heavy paper) or tap* pattern.

* a tap pattern can be made by placing a heavy paper over the part and tapping lightly around the edges with a ball pein hammer. This will result in a tracing of the gasket. When doing this it’s important to take care not to tap so hard as to break the part or damage the sealing surface.
