In late November,it was time to ensure that my Weber adapters were flat with no cracks and re-seal the adapters. In 2011 when I had rough running after removing the carburetor in an engine refresh; so I made my own gaskets from rubberized sheet gasket because I didn't have any new gaskets or any available locally, and would've taken several days to order. So I used my homemade gaskets and purchased an adapter gasket set for future use. So I found the gasket kit, Redline Weber #99005.675



Surprisingly my adapter plates appeared to be pretty straight, but I did sand them using 180 wet/dry on a sheet of glass. There were no cracks from overtightening as I'd torqued them before as per Weber/Redline installation instructions. The carburetor mounting studs "might have" protruded and pushed the adapter up a hair, so I sanded that part smooth with the adapter surface.





I used Permatex Aviation on the new gaskets, a thin film.







I used 1/2" i.d. oil hose (left over from my VW) as a new hose from valve cover over to the underside of my air cleaner.
