You could always make them....I having to for an os pet, been hunting for my tech drawing set for months, god know where it is.....

OS Pet gaskets http://icbimproducts.com/gaskets/newcart/viewcategory.php?groupid=88 The head gaskets are fiber gaskets, I never used them so I can't comment on them. However, I find that heat transfer is probably not as good as a metal version. The other gaskets are accurately cut.

I seriously douby you will find gaskets for a Taplin and you will have to make them.

Wow, thanks Ken...

Taplin twin, may be worth your while to email the gasket company especially for the more complex gaskets you need.....may be pricey but you have a tt.

Well considering they stopped making them (the Mk1) in the 1950s....do you really think spares are still available...?....and no-the successive Marks II and III Taplins are different in both construction and capacity. What you might try....and no guarantees of success-would be to see if any ED Hunter gaskets might fit-given the Mk1 is based on the ED Hunter piston cylinder unit...you might find a backplate and cylindergasket from a Hunter would fit...but if you're after the exhaust manifold one...you'll be whistling in vain. Weston UK hold the remaining stocks of ED parts and spares...which I believe includes Super Fury, Racer, Hunter and Viking engine parts-though not necessarily a full complement of parts for all of these four types...
