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.
