[Fot] Setting sights on the salt

[Chris Kantarjiev]

Speaking of mjb's wedge ... maybe someone here can help. 

Last time I visited him, one of the tasks was putting a TriumphTune
Weber manifold on the engine. We puzzled out the less-than-clear
directions for modifying the coolant plumbing, got everything
back together, filled the system and .... puddled coolant 
all over. 

The new O-ring they supplied to seal the intake manifold to
the head at the big coolant passage is apparently too small, given
the thickness of the manifold gasket. The new O-ring looked
to be about the same size as the old one.

Are there various thicknesses of gasket? Or should we go looking for
a thicker O-ring? Or is there some other typical solution?

Thanks,
