Been working on some new gaskets for the donor tranny while I save up for more parts. I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but I am using an SM420 behind the 261. I ordered a gasket set from Home Depot no less. The part number is FelPro TS5100. I took those gaskets and traced them on bond paper and used my calipers to measure them before starting to draw them up in AutoCAD. After a few prototypes, I only have a few prototypes left lol. Getting into the home stretch. Once this is all done, I'd be happy to share the file (SVG, DXF, etc..) via email if you have a Cricut or something else. I am using a Glowforge to cut mine out of cardstock (cheap prototype material).

I'm sure it seems a little silly to spend so much time doing this, but I hate cutting gaskets by hand, they never turn out great. If I screw one up, I can just cut out a new one in about 10 minutes instead of waiting a few days for the mailman. Plus, I can share the file with others and help out when needed.
