You make a gasket like that without a lathe by using a gasket hammer.
Still kickin it old school, eh Ken?
I've done that plenty of times for pump housings, water necks, some manifolds, etc. I don't know that I would want to do it on a carburetor body though.
I'm surprised that Bob didn't have 100 of those gaskets sitting on a shelf somewhere though.
Aw Willie ya gotta live on the edge.I've made hundreds of carb gaskets with a hammer, motorcycles engine cases as well ya just gotta tap lite!!
