A question for the expert engineers.
Nobody seems to supply banjo gaskets for between the late, heavy 1938/9 axle, so am going to make one.
First hurdle = where can I get gasket paper.......lucky.....first phone call, to local very small factor..."yes I have two thicknesses - thick and thin, 13 inch X 13 inch sheets. Took metric micrometer with me and found:-
Thin = 3.5mm (0.013 inches - 13 thou)
Thick = 0.8mm (0.031 inches - 31 thou)
The make is anonymous.
Question....which thickness to use for banjo joint.....my thinking is the thick?
I will use the thin for the adjuster?
Ebay etc. would have involved a 1 week delay for delivery......already SEVERAL weeks delay on this axle alone waiting for bits!!!
