Copper Gasket Material??..can you buy?

[Hybrid]

Quick one, can you buy copper gasket material?, I need to make some custom dump pipe gaskets and some new water line gaskets for the turbo's.

Also if you can buy it, what is the best tool to cut it with?

Cheers.

Try Associated Gaskets .

They sell a pretty good range of materials for gaskets and it is where I would go for gasket material.

The model shop near my place sells copper sheets of varying sizes, thicknesses and different compositions. I just buy the "softer" of what they sell and cut it with small tinsnips and make the stud holes with a punch.

I use this copper gasket between the turbo and dump pipe simply because when ever I have gone to the exhaust and turbo shops in my area for that particular gasket they never have it.

The gasket I made has not leaked in the 3 or so years it's been fitted and looks just like a bought one but only cost about $6.
