This is the exact nomenclature of the Viton gasket sheeting, if anyone is needing to make some gaskets (evidently the Pettit originals rarely survive more than one installation due to engine heat).

The new gauge material on the left is almost exactly the same thickness as the older (and very fried, torn up) original Pettit gasket material. I think it'll work smashingly.

I had previously cut my gaskets from the brown Karropak paper-like gasket material, but I started to think that it was too thin - so I ordered some 1/16" Viton sheet and used a silver marker to trace the previous gaskets, and a scalpel to cut out some thicker ones.

Got my Bennett Built aluminum coolant tank setup! Had to buy separate caps but that's fine, I am liking the square ACDelco caps I found online!
