<div>Subject: [Healeys] 100 balance pipe gland seal ideas </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Is there any conventional wisdom for making this seal? This is on the balance pipe between the carbs on the 100 engine.<br>
<br>
I think originally it was some mixture of fibre/cloth and a tarlike substance wound in a circle and compressed when assembled. The o-rings they provide in head gasket kits are a laughable substitute.

</div>
<div>Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.</div>
