NICKEL ALLOY GASKETS.

We think it worth while to try out some exhaust and inlet washers in nickel alloy as an alternative to copper and asbestos. We suggest three sets of washers for P.II and 20/25 HP. The washers required are as follows :-

P.II.
E - 80177 - 3 per set
E - 77725 - 6 per set
E - 80195 - 1 per set

20/25 HP.
E - 55923 - 2 per set
E - 55924 - 2 per set
E - 55922 - 1 per set
E - 53965 - 1 per set
E - 56145 - 3 per set

The nickel alloy cylinder head gaskets are still in use and have so far proved satisfactory.
