Is number 9 still available for purchase?
Anyone have any info where I could get them?20250414_174805.jpg
 
David Silver Spares USA. Plenty of after-market versions available on Ebay/Amazon and such.

 
I will provide feedback when I install them.
probably will be a while until I can get around to it.
Thanks for the help sourcing my parts.
 
Ok got the caltric and installed.
25 bucks a pair shipped. Great tight fit. No leaks whatsoever.
The secret is the prep. I used a wire brush on a drill and went at it.
Had to to a little straightening to do on the clamped connection.
The quality of the gasket seems very good.

Good looking gasket - has it got a lip on it to prevent pushing too far into the receiving side?

No lip on gasket.
After wire I wire brushed the the header end, I gently kept fitting the gasket in the end and using channel locks, straightening the distorted areas from the clamp.

After I got the gasket to start, I inserted it about a 1/4 inch in the header.

I wire brushed then used some emory cloth to clean up the muffler end on the exhaust pipe.

I inserted the muffler into the gasket and twisted it back and fourth and constantly checking making sure it was evenly being inserted.
There is a lip on the muffler that the gasket bottoms out on then once it seats and the hanger bolt lines up, it's a done deal and tighten up the clamp.

The gasket is made in China and comes with a warning to California residents.
