Twin 40s to xflow manifold

Hi can anyone point me in the right direction? I have a set of twin 40 webers and a manifold for my 1700 xflow but the manifold has no gaskets with it does anyone know where i can get some from.

You can buy generic gasket paper from motor factors, you just lay over the manifold then gently tap around with the round end of a ball pien hammer to cut the shape out.

Punch out holes for the studs, job done

Have a look here

Carb to manifold is big rubber 'O' rings, you use thackery washers and tighten until the gaps in the washers are closed, not until the rubbers are all squashed up as they need to flex.

You need a standard Ford Crossflow gasket for the engine side; available from most motor factors. For the carburettor side you will need MISAB gaskets. These are available from several sources but a good place to look is: www.dellorto.com
