Can any of you tell me where I can find float bowl gaskets for a 1968 cobra. In the states would be my first choice. Thanks, Andy

The short answer is that you can't - they sometimes pop up on eBay, but not often. I suspect making your own is your only viable option going forward. That's what I plan to do unless someone else steps forward to produce pattern ones..

Ok, thanks Ian.

I bet at least one of the list members has access to a cnc laser cutter that could whip these up ?

That's a great idea. Are the '68 gaskets different from the '69, '70 and so on?

My son works as a programmer in a laser cutting shop.. Wont work as the lasers run waaay too hot. Gaskets are die cut, much like the balsa wood in the models you used to build.

Hummm , maybe it takes a special laser ? http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/gasket- ... chine.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I stand corrected Dave. Different animal. Son's shop cuts sheet metal. Aluminum, Stainless and mild steel. Anything from 24 gauge thru 3/4". Thicker than that gets machined on a CNC water jet. All of it is precession. Lately they have been making some wing skins for Cesna.

Indeed they are - one year only version. The later style (1969 MK2 and onwards) are readily available - just not the 1968 MK1 'round' bowl version. The MK1 style also used an o-ring in addition to the gasket eh ?

Ian,
Do you know the original part number for the gaskets? Andy

Parts lists are readily available on line eh ? There are two gaskets on these that sandwich a plate (15259-15010) between the bowl and the carburettor body - the lower one on the bowl itself is an o-ring 13251-15010, and the actual fibre gasket on the top side is 13258-15010.

If I can get my hands on a new one for a sample, I will find a way to get them made.

My Cobra 34mm kit is 99% finished, and I would like to offer gaskets with the kit.

PM or email me your address and I'll send an NOS one to you.

Ian,

I sent you an e-mail at your website address...

It has the float settings that you are after as well.

As an idea why not call Cometic, they may be willing to make some for you by using a perfect example to copy from. Since they are NLA, a run of 20 or so for example wont be too difficult to sell the extras on Ebay. http://www.cometic.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
