Re: gasket sealer
Hi canaletto5 they have gaskets but I always over engineer stuff ,why use a 10 mm bolt when two 20 mm ones will fit ? I'm the bloke who everyone has as a mate who just gives it that final nip up and snaps it!!!!!!wondered if a little wipe of something might helpcanaletto5 wrote:They should have gaskets buddy. Kev
