Hi guys,

So I'm in need of a couple of Crankcase gaskets for Ryobi trimmmers, but cheapest I've found is close to $10ea (inc postage.. which is a large chunk of money to spend on an old trimmer (for me anyways).. so I figured, I'd try my hand at making some with gasket paper.

The crankcase gaskets I'm wanting to make seem like a basic design,

I was thinking, using a drawing compass I could probably easily draw one out and carefully cut it out..

Pretty sure I have a couple of other projects too that'll need some gaskets.. issue I need feedback on are;

Q: How do I determine what thickness I need ?

Q: Does anyone have experience making gaskets for petrol gardening tools ?... Any tips ?


Thanks in advance smile
