Flexible exhaust gasket 18532-MT4-000 .No longer available ?

My gen 3 needs a new one.
Any body come up with an alternative?
None in Australia or from honda japan.

good luck

D.E.D.

 

if you deal with remarcables be prepared for disappointment.

 

goop up some permatex ultra copper around the old one and call it a day.

 

Nothing left of the old one.
But will have to work something out if this isn't a go! [DLMURL]http://www.remarcables.com.au/Motorc...et-Flexible-Ex[/DLMURL]
Used used an old number plate and Selley's 401 to fix the rusted collector box on a previous vfr I owned but this bikes is 2 good for that sort of bodged up repair.

 

The gaskets just one of those donut things right? Take one end of the joint down to your local auto parts shops and root through their supply. You'll probably find something generic close enough that you can then whittle down a bit and seal up.

 

Yes was just thinking that .Will give it a shot.

 

Found these on Ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/161786779525?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Will let you know how it goes once it gets here but it should be the right size.

Australian auto parts stores are nothing like those in the US (I lived in L.A for a while) the staff generally are not helpful and only work off part numbers.

 

Just to update these work really well.
They don't look anything like right but squish up under pressure and seal perfectly.
I took the springs off and fitted shorter bolts to get a good crush and then fitted the original bolts and springs .

 

Nice job sourcing those, I have an interest in these bikes so I follow threads regarding them. I never had an issue with these gaskets on any of my gen 3 bikes, I did win an auction for a slip on pipe which had the original one stuck in the pipe, I ended up chiseling it out and stuck it in the attic as it sucked (you can't always win on ebay auctions.) I ended up using some springs off it though Waiting to take my 91 out a little ride but dont wana get caught in the rain on my day off with it :loco: 93 gets more regular use as I go to work on it once or twice a week.
