Gaskets

Where can I get the fiber gaskets for the fuel lines? Ever since Raber's retired I lost my source for these nickel and dime items.

Do you mean the fibre washers # 9 for the fuel taps which should be readily available.
They could be replaced with Dowty washers or Stat O seals.

Thanks. I was hoping someone is the U.S. would have them.

Steadfast, Baxter, MAP cycle, Bonniville shop, and many others are in the US.

I use Dowty seals where ever I can. Usually, the only time one can’t is if the Dowty is too thick for the application.

I only linked the AN page as a confirmation and because there are no fibre gaskets in the fuel lines (but there are on the taps) and the thread had sat unanswered for many hours by the look of it.

They are a common product worldwide so should be a walk in off the street purchase, bike shops as listed that have them would simply buy them in bulk and add a premium mark up to them as Andover Norton would do.

For me I got a bunch of fibre washers the other week for some front forks.


There must be local supply stores big or small similar in the USA to buy the correct size over buying a generic kit of various sizes.

The reason I mentioned Dowty's etc is fibre washers of today are not like that of years ago so are an alternative as would be aluminium sealing washers.

Harbor Freight is almost everywhere here in the USA

Harbor Freight Fiber Washer Assortment

As TimeWarp mentioned, Stat O Seals [aka Dowty Washers in the old world] are better. These can be found at any auto parts store. They are used for sealing automotive air conditioning [Chrysler & GM among others] joints. Tell that minimum wage squid behind the counter at the auto parts store to look in the 4 Seasons [A/C parts supplier] catalog.

Dowty seals are better known as "Bonded Seals" in the US, both in supply houses and the internet.
