- Moss part 296-680 is a $34 gasket set for the lower half of a 1275 cc You might like to avoid ordering this part. The timing cover gasket does not remotely fit. The pan gaskets do not fit (and, worse

- Is there any chance there is something else at fault, perhaps the engine in your car is not the 1275 set you received? I can't imagine Moss doing this if there is NO chance it could possibly fit. I c

- This particular gasket set...no. Moss passing parts off as if they'll fit...I thought that was a given! CTP

- The car is a 1275 cc (just checked the cylinder diameter during my recent re-bore). It came right out of a donor Midget, so the engine IS a 1275 cc that fits a Spridget and not a related British veh

- Just finished installing the lower (and upper) gasket kit from VB on my 948. The fit was good except for one side of the oil pan. I re-punched the holes, put a tad of non-hardening Permatex in the co

- The gasket set you received is for an "A" + engine, this engine replaced the old 1275 in the 80s, Non were (legally) imported to the US. I ran into this with Vic Brit a few weeks ago.I tried to tell

- Thanks for the heads up - doing the job next weekend. Actually plan on lots of permatex. Great stuff - a mild variant is used as fuel tank sealant on jet aircraft. Ron -- 948. rip.
