They don’t have them. Spoke to Eric couple times today. Can’t find a part number either.

Might be time for Owner Produced Part?

Maybe a firm such as these. Looks like they probably CNC water jet cut custom ones.

Or sheet material from McMaster-Carr. Cut 'em by hand?

Thanks Marty. No luck with Univair either. It’s a Scott Aerogauge. Univair actually sells the gauge, but they were unable to point me in a direction for gasket acquisition.

Someone told me to try a Rochester Gasket for a mechanical fuel gauge (BUNA A) P/N 15-4. Spruce has them, so will see tomorrow if they work or not.

Make one. Google ‘gasket hole punch’ and go buy some sheet.

If EI sells a gauge they should have gaskets???

Why not try Napa? Scott, so it’s a tractor gauge too???

Yeah I’ll try NAPA.

Univair sells a gauge, but won’t sell the gasket solo.

EI said they don’t provide a gasket like that over the phone.

Thanks.

Scott’s parent company mentioned in Univair’s page might be worth contacting

Thanks Mike. I just zoomed in on the univair gauge and realized it says Rochester Gauges now. Looks like they sell lots of gauges (non aviation) with same bolt pattern and they sell the [FONT=&quot]Buna-N, [/FONT]0015-00004 gasket to go with them. That’s what I ordered from spruce thanks to a PM from another member. Will know tomorrow if that’s a $3.65 solution.

Are you certain that is not just a flattened "O" ring?

I can make you a silicone or cork one if you want.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Buna-N, 0015-00004 from AC spruce is a perfect fit. $3.65 each.
