Carb to FAB Gasket...

Michael Burbidge · #1 04-26-2013, 12:47 PM

I need a new carb to FAB gasket, for my O320-D3G. It is different than the carb to sump gasket. I can find the carb to sump gasket in parts manual. But I cannot find the carb to FAB gasket in the parts manual.

Does anyone have a pointer on the part number and where to get it? I can't remember where I got the current one I have. Did it come from Vans?

Thanks,

Don't recall a gasket being required.

Maybe the gasket came with my engine. I bought it used from Wentworth. It very likely was just on the carb when I got it. But you're probably right. At that point we're just sucking air, and it's not like the FAB is completely airtight. The tighter the better of course. But a gasket is probably not needed.

I made one out of some leftover gasket material for the local auto parts store, Only took 15 min. I thought a gasket may also help to dampen vibration to the Fab plate that is known to crack.

Hi all, does anyone know if this gasket http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/...or08-11813.php

works to seal between the fuel servo and the oils pan on an IO 540?
Thx, Rick
