A bloke I know has got hold of an old gasket set which is a Bovic brand Austin Part number 40044 with alternative to FF071 listed on the packet.

Is the Bovic brand any good? If so, I'll post it in the for sale section. I've finished doing up my motor and the whole kit s not much good to me.

Cheers, Rocky

Thanks TK. I didn't want to put them up for sale if they were dodgy. While doing up Minnie, I found the quality of parts is sometimes not up to scratch and maybe being an older kit, it might be ok to use.

The side transfer case gear gasket can be thinner than original. Take that into account when setting up the idler gear etc
