The one's at minispares are out of stock so I went looking elsewhere and found the same part number at Somerford Mini - http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/index...roducts_id=7184

Is this the correct one? Seems cheap to me??

The MS one is the one to use with that part number is the one to use.

The somerford one is this one http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=...id=38056&title=

It does have fire rings and may be ok. But what I found with the cheaper gaskets was the inlet part failing, not the exhaust.

I don't know what Avonbar stock.

You may be ok with the spi one, but I have no experience of it.

I think others have.

Can anyone help?

We use the injection one.

I have injection one on mine too. However I do prefer the turbo ones.

If you are really struggling, Pl minis in thurnscoe might have them, they are basically minispares with a small fee on top, however the owner is an arrogant cunt and many will agree...

I hate the bloke john, he doesn't even know anything, I had a 10min argument over whether a bearing kit came with a new split pin, he swore blind they didn't until he opened the box, and his wife Liz is a barrel of laughs too, the grumpy *****

Hit the nail on the head there Steve. There is many more who will agree, I know a lot more that don't use forums.

Ok then I won't bother to offer you one off my proper metal backed turbo gaskets. Still got two or thee left from the batch I was selling on here last year. Hope the mpi one holds out.

If you do a search for manifold gaskets in the for sale forum under my user name you should find a picture. Can't add short cuts with my phone unless someone knows how to on a galaxy s2.

Try your local autofactor and ask for a pain turbo manifold gasket. I got the full headset for a bit more than the manifold one with the postage.
