Re: For lack of a better name...GL1100 FIT build
Any luck with gaskets?
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.

No luck however so far with getting studs made.

Re: For lack of a better name...GL1100 FIT build
I know the studs were discussed a few years back on some thread. I think they were going to be costly, but someone had found a supplier. I wish I could remember who it was or the thread title. I have a good memory.....it's just slooooowww. Maybe next week.

Re: For lack of a better name...GL1100 FIT build
I had inquired with ARP about my project, fella gave me a link to a chart of how they wanted it measured, and he was going to see if anything off the shelf would work. At the time, I didn't have my heads, so I couldn't do all the measurements...so far they are now sitting in boxes till I can get the engine back together, then we will do the measurements and see if they have anything.

Did they tell you to anneal those before using them? On all of the one's I've used we have to do that first.

Copper sure is pretty. ( If NGW need some thing to mount for an award someday.....)
Alwing17 has done all the leg work on studs, seems to me IIRC that is was way costly to do.

Yes, emailed me a nice set of comprehensive instructions for annealing and fitting them.robin1731 wrote:irishcarbomb wrote:Got the gaskets, been out of town for the holiday.

$60 shipped. Order finalized on a Friday, shipped on the following Monday. They are .02mm thicker than what I measured because that's the closest size he had to the 1.25mm I measured. I doubt it will make a difference but a little less compression cant hurt with the turbo.CYBORG wrote:Can I ask what they set you back?
