Gasket gearbox to rear axle housing

Post by shepp »

Has anyone come across a supplier who keeps the gasket for the gearbox to rear axle? It is the same gasket from the E27N onwards with an E27N part number, I thought some of the specialist E27N suppliers might have it but no joy.

I don't know of any either, but I would tap them myself (hope that's the case when we fit a Roadless front axle to our half NP Super Major). I hope not to need one for the others.

I used a silicon gasket there, easy fast and cheap, but not original of course.

I'll give Bertie Dunlop's a call, they have quite a number of parts made specifically for themselves so might be able to help.
