remove gasket material
 

Anyone got any suggestions/technics/product for removing the old gasket material from the nikki carb spacer?

go to the car parts store, they have a spray that takes it right off.

DO NOT try to remove the original gaskets from that spacer. Mazda bonded them to the phenolic. You will expose the milled tracks for the vacuum ports and ruin the spacer. You will have hellacious vacuum leaks. Trust me. Just stack new gasket on top if need be.

Thanks kewpie......Kinda thought there was such a product.

wow... am i seeing things or did rx7 carl just explain why that was a shitty idea... and then he was ignored...

i mean i know when you ask a question you don't want to be told it's a shitty idea, but if there is a good explaination i'd listen...

I allready made attempt to remove gaskets :( Now what? Is this part avail. thru Mazda? Expensive?l

oh, and they make aircraft paint and decal remover... it's like 5$ a can and it'll take everything off of everything... does wonders for cleaning metal

I wasnt ignoring Carl. He just got in a reply before I did APEXME.

use some sealant, forma gasket and what not, see if that works

if i were aware you were on and typing while i was typing that i wouldn't have bothered lol sorry to accuse before i knew...
