I buy from them a lot ...... fuel tank epoxy, Bing carb parts (for ultralight motors) ..... and I pilfer consumable bits whenever I'm in the hangar at work.
Strangely enough ..... many aircraft items like this are cheaper than regular sources ....... but if you put a part number on it then the price is times 10.
 
I have no intention of competing with Phil, but if you are local and need three of these, then I have a dwindling box of 100 on the shelf
I am 40 minutes due South of London, near J4 of M25. happy to help out club members, although buying me (and you) a pint would be quite a bit dearer which is the deal

ps WESTERHAM ales now sold in Tally Ho in Knockholt
Westerham is my family homeland and we can be traced there for centuries, I drank my first pint of the stuff in The General Wolfe pub aged 14

err, very sorry Mr Todd (sir)
your most humble, reliable and obedient customer/friend begs to differ, the Chott exhaust is an adapter bolted to the cylinder with a 4 bolt flange and gasket, and the exhaust pipe inserted into the adaptor, which is twin walled, and then held in place by springs.
most terribly sorry Mr Todd, didn't want to do that, but as Confucius once said if you give accurate instruction to a wise man you make him yet wiser. See attached

I stand corrected Clem - as i always say "you learn very little whilst your mouth is open" - guess it applies to " you learn very little whilst you are writing"  :D :D - regards - Phil
 
I have tried Honda exhaust gaskets for a while. Dimensions are 45,0 x 37,0 x 4,0 mm and bought them from a local motorcycle shop. They sell it to Honda CB1100F 1981-1985 for example. Seem to be Tour Max EPG-106C (manufacturer and model for the gasket). No need to retighten exhaust nuts that many times. Seems not to squeeze that much but haven't confirmet yet that these don't start to extrude to exhaust channel at some point. Quite obvious because these are thicker.

I have also made blind ended brass nuts to exhaust systems. It keeps the threads clean, don't loose easily and allways open easily. I have started to use this system on all of my clunkers. I keep some 10 and 13 mm hexagonal brass rod in stock to make those when needed. No need to fight anymore with exhaust manifolds on old cars and motorcycles when these are installed. It's quite common that cylinder head need to be removed from a car to drill the exhaust manifold bolts off.


 
I have a mate who has run me up a few hundred using 11mm hexagon brass bar, currently low on stocks, they cover the bare thread nicely, soak up a bit more heat, but the reason for me (back in 1979 racing a Monty) was so as to be able to drill and lock wire them, used on all my triples ever since
