I need to buy a gasket for my taco plate as I'm fitting a temperature sender adaptor plate. I can't find one anywhere! Any ideas?
This is what you need: https://www.vwheritage.com/shop/bay...pe4-1-7-2-0/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1 it takes two gaskets and the washer. have you already got it apart?
Hi Where did you buy the taco plate? I'm expecting one in the post to do the same job and assumed it would come with the gasket. I'll ask the guy who's sending mine and see what he says and let you know. cheers
its an o ring we need, i am doing the same thing,cant find it any where ,only in a full gasket set,if you find a supplier please post,although i am in oz it still might be worthwhile Rob
https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php/seal-for-sump-plate-2-0-cu-aircooled.html Only place in UK I can find so far.
But you have to buy 25 http://www.exactrubber.co.uk/standa...m-section/O-ring-77-ID-4-CS-Nitrile-70-rubber
You need the o ring , the gasket is for the cover which you need otherwise its pointless fitting the taco plate ..the bolts have their own copper washers .... Ref the gasket just buy a sheet and make your own ..
That's the one I'm fitting and the guy just replied saying a gasket is available on the VWH site. I suggested he buy the 25 o rings from exact rubber and start shipping them with his taco plates...
