[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 137207, member: 3287"] The French Dowty seals I find better as the rubberized portion covers over the steel washer further or make my own style with an "O"ring in-cased in a very thin S/S or aluminum parted off shallow pipe rings. Most of my oil quills are undercut in the lathe and an"O"ring fitted, same as sump plugs. All being drilled across the flats to fit a short length of s/s Morse control cable bent in such a manner as to clip behind something utilizing the tension in a tightening direction. Omega style clips I find useful for wiring pairs of bolts like the rear bolts on petrol tanks or under series "A" tanks. It is far easier to re-wire things up again. Cometic gaskets I consider very expensive when lapped surfaces are done to both sides a paper joint or a smidgen of sealant does an equally good job. My rocker caps have been "O"ringed since before leaving the H.M.Dockyard Devonport 1968. bananaman. [/QUOTE]
