The TR 6 valve cover gasket is out of the bag with its debut at
Triumphest. It was a joy to show the gasket to Kas , Ted Schumacher,
the Rimmer Bro's folks, and so many of you that made it to Triumphest.
Hopefully I concealed how absolutely shell-shocked I was as a result of
getting the gasket together in time for the show... flyers,
photography, demo valve covers, etc.
At the very last moment, before I was to leave, someone brought an
aluminum cover by and I was able to test the gasket on the cover. As I
had hoped and tried to design into the gasket, the gasket would work on
the cover. However, I've decided not to recommend it for the aluminum
covers. I think you folks should wait. I will make another mold with
a slightly modified profile to make it all the better. In it's current
form, it will work, but you'll still be left feeling like you're buying
a cover designed for a stock cover and that you're just making it work
for you. I don't want you to have that feeling. There's enough
aluminum covers out there that you should have your own gasket. I
promise, I will try to have that for you all by Christmas. I was going
to have more molds made anyway... I will simply have one made in this
slightly altered form.
In the mean time, brisk stock gasket T6 and T4 gasket sales would
certainly help make that all possible. I am working off one mold for
the T6, presently, and production will be slow for a bit, but the wait
shouldn't be too long.
Pricing: As you know... for the FOT, there is a standard discount of
$10.00 off the T4 type gasket. That will continue for that gasket. For
the TR6 gasket, for right now, you'll be sharing the same price with
others... of $44.95... as that is an "introductory price" anyway. I
will, however, share with FOT the offer I made at Triumphest... free
shipping (continental USA) until November 1. Down the road, when
the dust settles and the introductory price comes to an end, I will work
out another discount program for FOT on this gasket.
It's going to take me some time to get a web page together, but in the
mean time, I can take orders and gaskets will be shipped, as available,
in the order that they are received. Until I have some pictures posted,
I will be happy to send a picture upon request.
If you'd like to order, please send to:
J. M. Wagner Sales, Ltd.
1613 Chelsea Road PMB 145
San Marino, CA 91108
Please, no advance orders with payments for aluminum covers, but do let
me know if you'd like to be notified, etc.
A computer virus knocked out my computer a couple weeks ago and I lost
most of my "waiting list" for this gasket... I did have 95% of my
import files backed up, but that one slipped through. I have some hard
copied, but not all. So please do let me know if you're waiting for a
gasket for your aluminum cover.
Thank you all. I look forward to hearing feedback from the field as the
gasket hits the road.
