VW Brabham

[gaius ghinn]

Hi, I'm still looking for some a head gasket for the VW Brabham engine in my Ralt RT3.

I'm desperately trying to find a gasket for a 1600 head, more common and readily available are gaskets for 1800 heads.

The Goetze p/no that we need is: 30 - 023883 - 10

This p/no is pressed into the 'exposed' tab of the gasket.

This gasket has a thickness of 1.75 mm and suits an 83 mm bore.


The p/no of the Cyl hd gasket to suit a 1.8 L cyl head is: 30 - 023883 - 00

Another no for a 1.8 L cyl head gasket is: 30 - 027257 - 20

Unfortunately 1.8 L gaskets are unsuitable for our 1.6 L Head.

Have any of you learned folk got ANY idea where i can obtain one of these?

Due out at Thruxton over Easter so getting desperate!!
