DA GASKET MATERIAL

Stainless Skills · 08-16-2007, 07:08 PM

I just recently took the muffler off my DA 50 and broke the blackish very brittle gasket that was in-between it and the muffler.

I want to fly tomorrow, and don't want to order a gasket from DA, can I go to home Depot or Lows or some automotive shop, purchase my own gasket material and cut one myself?

What kind of stuff should I get in what thickness?

Any one ever ran into this same problem?

Thanks.

go to the auto parts store and buy yourself some hi temp silicone seal (orange) put a thin coat on the exh flange and bolt the header back on.
happy flying
