500 Exhaust Gasket

[Mike Peavey]

Anyone on the list in the US that might have a spare 500 exhaust gasket for my Falcone that I could buy, or I'll will be putting an order in with Marco Valenti in the not to distant future and plan to get a couple and can replace yours.

Thought I had a spare, but apparently not, and Paul at Guzzino is out. Anyone know of another US source?

Many thanks,
Mike Peavey

It's just a simple round gasket isn't it; 54mm OD x 45mm ID x 3mm?

A good motor factor should be able to match it up with something.

Thanks for the measurements, I’ll have a look.
Best,

I just pulled them off the web, best to check them.

By the way, if you’re ever on the road and loose the 7mm nuts from your exhaust header, find a Kubota dealer, their tractors use 7mm studs and nuts on exhaust headers and the nuts are lock nuts. I was riding with a friend who works at a Kubota dealer on Sunday when mine decided to depart the studs, who pointed this out. Unfortunately, no dealers open near buy, but we were able to find someone with a couple of 6mm nuts and a tap&die set, drill press and a 7mm tap. Most metric tap&die sets have 7mm, most often, never been used before.

An exhaust gasket for a 1984 Toyota Tercel works.  A little tight, and depending on  the manufacturer, a little thick, but cheap and available at most autoparts stores.  Got mine at ORielly's or AutoZone or NAPA.
