   Anyone know where to get them?
   
   Think thinnest listed on gmc is 1.5mm?
   
   
   But I know you CAN get thinner

   in peugeot range 1.2mm or 1mm, although i know the 1mm gasket is just a single layer gasket (tin) unsure about the 1.2mm
   
   although we have used 1mm gaskets on high power turbo cars no issues.
   
   if you need something custom try - http://www.ferriday.co.uk/
   
   - colin.

   Sorry John I've not been on to check.. Was just going off memory
   
   
   Don't want to use decomp again after last time,
   
   But would like to get near as poss to the old compression ratio so I'm going to have to have a litt think and see what are available in the gasket range to get me as near as poss

   did you see the one on here a while ago blackie, kid from portugal had one made up with copper middle, he found a place there that made a custom 2.2mm one, im sure he said it was around £50 or so. i think it was under 'fitting decomp plate' in the search, he had pics up of it aswell, looked canny ;D
