Gasket material

[A couple of bucks]

Replacing the gaskets on my sons SX6 when the fresh reeds and the notched stop goes in. I found out that my O'Reillys stocks just about any size, thickness(measured in 32nds) and material. None of it is out front, you need to ask to see what they have in the back.
This particular stuff, which seems to be a direct match for the OEM intake gasket material, is rubber impregnated cellulose and is 3/32nds. Cost..........$7 and I could easily get 27 intake gaskets out of this sheet. Not that I'd ever need to. This stuff came in a roll but they had sheets of all different kinds of shtuff.
And a 1 hole punch is perfect size for these holes.

Nice, I use a similar material to make all sorst of gaskets for cars, tractors, and sleds. The material you have looks like excellent material. The hole punch is the perfect tool for making gaskets, been using it for over 30 years.

That stuff is no slouch either. It takes the exacto knife, w/ a fresh blade, a couple of passes in order to get through it.

So I HIGH TACKed the gaskets to the cages & copper coated the opposite side. Yea I know it's more than likely over kill, but I had both the H/T and the C/C in the garage already on hand.

i'd be worried if you ever needed to take them back off.

I have a sheet of gasket material that can make approx 27 more of them.

It is leaps & bounds above the '12 pack' cardboard gaskets I used on my YZ when I was young & dumb.

Hey Now... I made quite a few Milwaulkees Best case gaskets back then.. Worked just fine.

I can remember banging out a few T-stat housing gaskets with a ball-peen hammer and/or using oil on the gasket surface and imprinting it onto "gasket material".

I'm planning on making some new gaskets for my coolant rail on my srx, would I need to use the copper gakset spray or just use them without the spray?

It certainly won't hurt. I tend to overkill when it comes to possibly a fluid leaking.

I've used just straight silicone before without any paper gaskets,never leaked. Works in a pinch.
