G26901 mounting gasket

[iraceitall]

I just need to vent Looking for a turbo mounting gasket for my 79, I find FelPro has a whole gasket kit, which I don't need, but Victor has part G26901, the gasket I need. I can find it at several places, Rock Auto for example, all for under $5.00 But, shipping is 17 freaking dollars?! Really? Mail the f*cking thing! Grrr!

Guess I will make my own..

lol..... this is a interesting gasket... me and charlie went through all of this a ways back... they can still be found... but are getting harder by the day.

dont just make one.... its tooo thin and will cause other problems.

I'll have to agree with Aj here. Get the gasket set and be done with it. Finding a single gasket will still run a bunch and you may need several so try NAPA or buy several at a time to cut the cost of shipping.

Last two felpro kits I got had everything but the turbo mounting gasket. Iwas thinking about making one out of aluminum with Orings.

Yeah, I ordered the first set and it had the mounting gasket, the second and third time it didnt.

Im machining one like mike suggested the next time I have the turbo off and the car down for a while.

I bought the bullet and bought 2 from Rock Auto

What would you use for a material if you wanted to make a thick one, or maybe a spacer?

 

[MNcarbturbo]

Possibly polyurethane plastic or aluminum. Im leaning toward the plastic because it would isolate heat better.

Here you go guys. The solution is at hand and Shawn is willing to do it so we don't have to hunt these damn things down any more.

That's a different gasket.

That's a different gasket.

Shawn is willing to make us a intake to turbo and plenum to turbo gaskets Rich.

 

[iraceitall]

Sweet! If he does I'm in for a couple sets!

 

[charlief1]

Just have to find my gaskets and send them to Shawn so he can make them.

When you get them, let us know if they have the anti-crush rings in the bolt holes.

 

[iraceitall]

Will do! I still have my old one with the sleeves in it too...

FYI, the turbo to downpipe graphite seal is Felpro 60240. Autozone stocks them for $2.99

PS - it fits the 301 Turbo as well.

 

[iraceitall]

Good to know. Thanks! I'd better order a couple!

 

[iraceitall]

My gaskets arrived today. They do have the sleeves in them. They are Victor-Reinz.

 

[b4black]

Great! I have three GM gaskets, but might as well order some of these since they are so cheap. Shipping is $13 for me, but maybe I can piggyback it on another order from the same warehouse.

Can't find G26901 on Rock Auto anymore.
