I emailed the yahoo address, and Paul replied very quickly. In fact he shipped my order within a day or two of confirming. I originally used the other hotmail address with no response.

Same here, he replied and shipped them the same day. Nice gaskets. The timing cover gasket is .0365" (.93 mm) thick and I measured a few other various gaskets and they vary quite a bit, from .013' to .025". The paper timing cover gasket was about .017".

Cyborg,
Three questions:
1) Are the gaskets sold individually or only in sets?
2) If available individually is there a price list?
3) If only as a set what was the cost?
Thanks
Steven

As far as I know, they are available individually, although I don't have a price list. I ordered a twin set and 2 additional timing cover gaskets.
One twin kit- $52.46 ea.
ET106 X 2 @ $13.74 ea.=$27.48
Padded envelope $2.29
First class postage $4.45
Total $86.68​

You are welcome and yes especially considering they are reusable and seal better.

Just to add to my previous post. I think the gasket material is actually sold (from Cometic) as being .032 thick, but mine do measure out at .0365". They look like they will compress down to about .021" not that it really matters.
