Re: [Amc-list] Amc-list Digest, Tom's tail light gaskets

Ken; i dug your gasket repair blurb. Me, I just run
down to the local AMC dealer and order new gaskets and
Pacer lenses, I don't know what the big deal is.....
But seriously, folks. I have gone to sandwiching two
gaskets together to build them up, with a little
silicone in between to glue em together. The hardest
part is cleaning the gaskets in the first place as
usually they are really brittle. I'll try to build
them up like you described.
To clean them I placed them in the dishwasher with a
glass on top to keep them from bouncing around. I run
on gentle cycle and remove before the second cycle.
The use of ss hex screws is good, I'll do that.
Remember to use a plastic polish on the lenses before
reassembling.
I remember my ex-wife coming home once and I had
gaskets washing in the dishwasher, valve covers
wrinkle painted and curing in the oven and my carb
spread out on the kitchen table. Hey, "Brewster
McCloud" was on TV and I wanted to see it. Just multi-tasking....Russ
