Vette91	custom lasercut gaskets	#1
Guru Germany 70 Posts Member since: 2012/6/30 15:55	As I could not find anyone selling gaskets for the SuperRam intake in Germany, I decided to make my own ones ... After I discovered that 1.5mm thick gasket-paper is not easy to cut I created a CAD-model of the needed set and got them cut by laser at a local company. If anyone of you guys does need the 2D-dxf files which can be processed by a lasercutter just send me an e-mail and I will send the files to you. Here is a pic of these DIY-gaskets: Best wishes Eike

Like Matatk I used old school with my ball peen hammer. What type of company do you go to get the laser cutting done at.

Lagratec uses a pretty small cutter like you can do at home. I'm sure there are companies around you who can laser- or watercut gaskets. Just do a google search on your city. For Chicago I found http://www.loganlasers.com If you need CAD-Models and dxf-files of your gaskets just send me a scan or photo of a drawing on scale paper and I'll do my best getting it in the computer.

I spoke to the owner, he said he needs to see the example and the gasket material/thickness to quote a price. I will have to pay to have the gasket computerized because the above examples do not include the lid gasket. Biggest obstacle right now is the gasket material. To match the Mr. Gasket original material, it is 1/16", which is not the problem. Mr. Gasket and Fel Pro both have that thickness available. The problem is the gaskets are sold in rolls which is curled up, and that is difficult to cut on the waterjet machine according to the guy I talked to. I called Mr. Gasket and they do not sell it in flat sheets. I am going to contact Fel Pro and see if they are willing to sell it in sheets vs rolls. So far, this won't be super cheap just based on materials and setup alone. Add in shipping costs and everything else...I don't expect it would be less than $50 a set.

Just wondering because the lid gasket is not included in the above files. Yep the complete set. The reason I ask is because the lid gasket when cut would have a lot of excess waste material. The above drawings don't take that into account. It would be more practical to put the smaller gaskets inside the lid gasket when being cut because it would save material.

I spoke to the one local company and his prices were outrageous....he wanted $50/set to cut the gaskets from the provided drawings which didn't include the lid gasket or raw materials. The search continues.

Was sold as a roll but if you put some books and other heavy stuff on it for a few days it will be fine. As for the lid, I use silicone ... a PITA to get off but never got a leak.

These should be files that are scaled to print out at 1:1 or actual size, with any critical dimensions called out, such as bolt holes, bore size, overall length and width, etc."

I just talked to my guy at Wesco Laser Machining about the possibilities of making these at his shop. Not a problem cutting them but he is questioning what materials to use for the gaskets. He has multiple sources but he wants to know the specifics of the gasket material because of course there are multiple choices depending on the application. We talked about some alternative local shops to talk to that do a lot of custom gasket cutting, he handles cutting the larger formats for these guys. My next step is for him and I to get together so he can look at the set I have. Nice plus is that I have the complete set including the lid. I'll keep you abreast of our conversations. He's positive he can offer us a solution but we'll see.

If he can get them cut at a reasonable rate, no reason to duplicate efforts. Hi Matt, So far it looks like this gasket set is doable at a reasonable price point. I met with a gasket shop yesterday to see what they can do. We’ll need to have the lid gasket created but that’s not too bad, probably will run ~ $55 as a one-time charge. We’ll be comparing the ones Elke so kindly created and shared with the Mr. Gasket set I got from Ligenfelter. Once everything is validated as being sized correctly it looks like we’re under $50 per set, with the lid being somewhere around $20 - $25 per. Material wise they are pretty sure they have the correct cellulous gasket material but they would like to understand the air pressures the gaskets should be spec’d to. The gasket material Mr. Gasket used verses the new material they have visually look the same (without the white Mr. Gasket logo). Heat wise it should be good as it’s rated at over 250 degrees but they would like to understand the dynamics of the air pressure the gaskets need to withstand and I’m just not too sure about what to suggest. Does anyone have any ideas for this? They showed me some other standard materials that had heat ranges up to 800 degrees and with a 1500 psi rating which I suspect greatly exceeds what we need. My plan is to forward the CAD drawings Elke created to them and to drop off the lid and the full gasket set I have to validate everything before they begin cutting. This leads to the next question – how many sets to cut knowing there is the upfront charge to create the lid gasket which needs to be amortized? After we’ve determined the psi rating that is needed they will be ready to go, so what’s the suggestion on how many to begin with?

Webmaster SW Chicago Burbs 22802 Posts Member since: 2008/1/7 0:00	Scott, I don't think that air pressure levels that are super important to worry about. My original thought was to make 5 sets as a test run based on price, but you need someone to be willing test the gaskets during their install and report back.

My superram is on the shelf. I can mock up fit but cant do a full install until Im doing another build. jp

Sorry for the delay, our business has kept my nose to the grindstone it seems. So here’s where I’m at on this. I’ve sent the company I'm working with, Accurate Gasket, the gasket files created by Elke and have arranged to go by the shop on Friday of this week to deliver the lid gasket which Rosie will use to create the file needed to cut this gasket with the others. I’ll be taking my SR lid along for her to look at for any question they might have. So, all things being equal, it looks like we could have product as early as next week depending on how long it takes to create the lid gasket. I’ll post an update on Friday after I’ve met with the shop and given them my full gasket set as the master set. I’m not planning on having the throttle body gasket cut unless you think they are necessary also. Just as any FYI, Accurate Gasket has been cutting regular and custom gaskets for almost 50 years and are well known here.
