[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 493996, member: 9124"] Wish I could get my hands on a decent pair of old style dunlop thongs! The new thong material I have being trying is utter :poop: So I had a bit of spare RED lay flat, and cut out a few gaskit seals for the pump with it. The red lay flat is pretty good material and hard wearing. It can also be a good emergency gaskit for your petrol water pump too! I fitted 2 peices to the pump and it seems to have a good seal. Take your time cutting a perfect circle with 1 mm oversize to internal diameter. If you have a perfect circle, but find it too big, use a permanent marker and trace the inside edge. Then when you are trimming it, makes a good guide to cut, better than an egg shaped seal! :lol: Tip.... Avoiding a lost wing nut in the creek....... Get hold of an 8mm SS nyloc nut. Put it on the end of the thread of shaft till the nylon just bights the thread. Leaves enough thread for you too back off the tention on the wing nut to relax your gaskit when not being used.
