Are they comparable to the Fepro gaskets? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 28,674 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 28,674 | Fel-Pro has been around since at least the 1930's (used to be "Felt Products Co.") How long has the other bunch been making gaskets? I've never heard of them.

They've been around since 1920, founded in Germany, and started out making pistons.
I don't think you can go wrong with either Fel-Pro (who started out in 1918, and specializes in gaskets) or Mahle.
