Real Gaskets based in Tennessee make silicon/rubber gaskets for Commandos (and many other machines). They are great, stop leaks, last a long time but their shipping costs to Europe are eye watering and they don’t combine shipping. Two sets of gaskets are approx $35 plus $45 shipping.
I decided to check out alternatives made from Viton.
The cost to tool up is about $3-4K. The other option is have them cut with a water jet. The company I’ve been talking to here wants a minimum order of 750 sets.
The cost works out to be about the same, but I can probably do much better on shipping to Europe.
Any interest?
