Sorry only just noticed that you mentioned an angle grinder!!! Do you think that is really needed? How much did you shave off? Dan172 trialled the sizes on both gaskets and fitted an actual PTFE manifold gasket without modification which is where we want to be with the product - i.e. people...

Will see what I can do on the fitting guide mate - leave it with me....

Excellent News - superb infact. Thanks so much for doing these tests mate. Very happy to see that the washers can be used without any messing as well. I'm chuffed to say the least!! Right - I'll have a word with my man at the lazer company however I would hazard a guess at £40-45 for a...

LOL - just keep us posted mate and we will get on it... ...new

Just for all your info we are currently developing these gaskets for the Clio V6 Owners - just as an idea as to quality and the amount of effort put in check the below photos taken today... Hopefully we can get the 172 ones off the ground sometime very soon!

Sorting mini-valver out no problems - custom K4M on the way! Just waiting on results back from AmDaMan and Mase I will be in touch following these. Thanks All

AmDaMan - glad you are happy with quality - drop me a PM with your results - only just got back from hols so apologies for delay in replying! Mase - got your email mate; will be in touch. mini-valver - source a OE gasket and then drop me a PM - sure we can knock one up for you somehow -...

Hi mate - sorry missed this thread but really well done. Nice to see pics of my gaskets being used - fitment looks spot on - excellent!! Hope they are ok for you and 10/10 for the car - really good work mate, keep it up and the best of luck.

You have PM

Will anybody be willing to trial fit the plenum to manifold gasket? I know it fits, its just we haven't been able to see temp reduction gains - would be nice to see overall gain of using both to be honest... Anybody out there willing to trial fit?

anyone?!

Hi - sorry for the delay have been away... Dan172 last I heard was selling his car so we are looking for someone to test fit the plenum to manifold PTFE gasket for temp reductions... Dan was ideal to do this as he had already recorded the mani to head gasket temps so to keep things more...

Sample gasket has been cut and is being sent to Dan172+ for fitting approval, thickness measurements etc. Following this we will cut a final PTFE for him to test temps with and then we will know whether the set or just manifold gasket is most beneficial for the cost. not be long now! in the...

3mm PTFE valver/williams inlet manifold/t.body gasket(s) Right folks. :) quick update on these Sold a lot of these on clio williams forum so any of you valver lovers out there without may be interested. Seen great results and fitment is A+. For Sale Link...

:headno: Suggest we just stick with the mani to head and plenum to mani gaskets then... we can make these extra gaskets but it will get confusing to some people, plus the extra costs for you guys wont reap the same rewards as the two main gaskets. Unless of course people do think it will...

and whilst your there you may as well fit some PTFE gaskets to keep temps down... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=262717 ;) get some heatproof from Halfords indeed... I use some black stuff from motabits which gives a really nice dark grey type finish. If you want black you...

Thats why I need to know - didn't even know what bolts were used! :rolleyes: Someone may have just had one which was right size but couldn't measure or whatever. NP making washers to that size - would 1.5mm thickness be ok to not cause any other issues. If its going to affect breather...

Well it would only be small cost to make the washers - literally a tiny bit of extra CAD drawing, bit more lazer time, bit of material cost and thats it really from my point of view... next to nothing really. Request a volunteer to make a suitable washer and send to us for make up or suggest...

Like I say I'll happily make the washers but will need somebody to advise best outer dia, suitable inner dia, and best thickness. If it will help then we will do it - if its just f**kin about for the sake of it then no we wont. It will probably mean a charge of an extra quid or so for the...

Well if the washers will help I doubt it would be much of an issue to make them - end of the day the scrap material for the middle of the port cuttings could be used for something! If anyone can get me a washer the correct size and thickness I will happily copy if it will help. But if it...

I've got a spare 172 inlet manifold I think in my mates shed so ill bolt it down to my bench to space it out a bit - either that or just had .5mm to port holes. Whats your opinion on the washers mate? (as above)

Manifold to plenum gasket ordered - being collected on Friday - should be drawn up for next week, trial fitted asap when we get one cut (by Dan 172 - thanks), he will probably post results and then all will be available.... :) washers to be confirmed as above.

As above Ben has suggested we could use a washer on the plenum mount to further reduce heat transfer - good idea.

Thanks! Are there metal washers std or are you suggesting we use a PTFE washer as an addition to help reduce heat transfer further?

sorry mate? which one of these is the gasket from manifold to plenum? Also "Dont forget to make PTFE washers under the plenum aswell for the rear mount then." Can you elaborate on this? Sounds interesting and I'm willing to do it but not owning a 172 I can't depict what you mean! Agreed...

mattjk - that part number doesn't exist mate.... Spoke to renault and they said it should be a straight 10 digit number? Can you check? Don't they usually start with 77? Cheers

Hi mate... Can get the manifold gaskets in 1.5mm out to you now but we are going to trial run the additional plenum to manifold gasket as well so was going to wait for that first and offer them at a discounted bulk buy sort of thing. 1.5mm manifold gasket alone will probably only be about...

No there not brittle at all.... piece of p1ss to post! i package them up strongly with layers of cardboard. Thanks for part number!

they will be produced mate no doubt ;)

Dont suppose you have template/part number/spare gasket for between plenum/mani?
