Not quite sure what you mean but anyway, what I do do first is place the cover on the paper and draw round it with a fine biro . Then I take it off and scribble all over the jointing face with a marker pen several times and while its still sticky I put it back onto the paper using the drawn outline as a guide . This should make a print of the inner shape . Then I use a bit plastic tube dipped in paint to mark all the hole positions. Next I punch out all the holes using a sharpened locator dowel . Lastly I carefully cut the whole thing out with a scalpel . If the gasket has all straight edges I skip the printing stage and just use a ruler to draw the inner shape and a bit of the old gasket to draw around the wavy bits where the holes go . I'm sure there are other ways of doing this but I just kind of made this up as I went along.

 

Cheers Bob, I’ll give it a go when I’m ready - the best place to buy decent gasket paper is?

I just buy it off eBay , its called Flexoid

 

Hi fastbob, what thickness flexoid did you use for your gaskets?

I'm sorry , I don't know . I bought a selection pack and just used the thickness that felt right .

No worries! .. Many years ago a guy I worked with used a cornflake box to make his gaskets. :)
