Guys in the garage at the mo, working on the 5, when i put the carb back on the manifold do i use 1 or 2 card type gaskets? i have the black thick gasket, does this go on followed by a card one before the carb, or one either side of the black gasket?:confused:

Thanks

cock.........i only have one.

However i have 2 similar type gaskets but slightly larger, unless they are the same but slightly different design?

Did they come in the carb kit, with one hole looking larger and more oval?

I have two of the left hand side gaskets but only 1 of the right hand side one.

The right hand side one is exactly the right shape and size. One on the left is larger and overhangs. Is this for some other connection or are they the same part by different manufacturers?

Opps to slow, i think thats gasket set version, so i think they are fine, i didnt have to use mine as i had a couple knocking about from the headgasket set.
