Do not use the T16 gasket as a template for a manifold flange.

Not that I'm saying you are, but just beware.

Cheers

AndyR, why not? Would seem the pretty logical thing to do IMO.

The distance from the port to the edge of the flange would be too thin IMO, so it would warp.

I never thought of that but it would be ok to use it for the internal dimensions but remembering to make the actual flange thicker, in stainless steel and all curvy like an F1 car......

which side goes where?

i have the flat 'matt' side up against the head, and the silver metalic perforated one facing the manifold?

either way its not leaking at the moment!

Says 'this side out' or words to that effect on it.

Shiney side is manifold side- unless you have one of the expensive ones wich is shiney on both sides
