Hi Peter,
so You've had the heater stuff fitted already then? ;-)
My engine is the 1600cc 75 hp carburettor version, but I
think the valve cover is the same on the larger version
also... The gasket kit is part No 026 198 025 C ... And
it consists of a moulded rubber [?] material around a
metallic core, so to say. A new set of studs for the valve
cover retaining nuts was also in the package.
A very nice solution indeed to the leakage problem.
The box says:
1 Satz
026 198 025 C
Made in Germany
Hope You can get it over there also. If not - mail me and
I'll buy you one over here and have it mailed to You...
I don't think it will be more than about CAD 25-30 plus
postage.
Regards
/Odd
