We have a cylinder head with Gaskets-To-Go in Thailand, and John Baker is preparing a quotation for us for a batch of 1mm thick gopper composite gaskets.
If anyone wants to buy gaskets on the back of our order, let me have your expressions of interest asap so I can give John the figures. Peter

Copper would read better than "gopper" !

Peter, Which model of BSA and do you have any idea of cost?
John
The little slant engine generator, like the Johnson Chore Horse.
Don't have a price yet, and no firm commitment needed until we have the firm pricing from John Baker.

My machine is one of the Canadian OMC WW2 versions, presumeably they all use the same gasket. Colour me interested.
I'll send you a picture of the cylinder without head to confirm that. Out tomorrow on site, do it on Friday (engines are at the factory!)

That's a shame, my engine is a vertical single 120cc. The gaskets ere likely to be different. I've always assumed my engine is closely related to their motorcycle ones.

A few variations on the Johnson/OMC engines, but as long as yours is one of the later types, upon which I believe the BSA unit was based, then cylinder head stud count and position looks the same:-
Looks OK, it looks like the 400 series with no round blank.
Fooled me yet again! Whenever anyone says "BSA", I automatically think of the 120cc aluminium crankcased & headed vertical SV engines that the Post Office & many, many others used for about twenty years around the sixties.
It never occurs to me to call the Ferrous Nag a BSA - although I'm of course aware that they made a few thousand at the end of the war. To me they are an Iron Horse, redolent of Great Plains and lonely train whistles ;o))
But it's all grist to the mill, of course, as I've now learned that there were more models than I knew of previously!
Regards,
Kim
