Starter motor and primary gasket have now both arrived, from separate sources. Not very happy with the gasket, opinions please:

I disagree
Send it back to the supplier and DEMAND either a replacement or a refund as it not fit for purpose

I've ordered a primary gasket and a starter gasket from the HD shop. In retrospect it's the cheapest and quickest option anyway :oooops:

I couldn't figure out why it was so feckin difficult to get the end off after I'd taken the rivets out. Finally got it off and realised it was sealed in with RTV silicon :P
