Re: MGB exhaust flange gasket

["Jerry Causey" <jcausey@whidbey.com>]

I saved a response from John Twist to this question a year or two 
ago:

"The good gaskets are supplied with the silver, 
metal side and an asbestos side.  The SILVER 
side is fitted DOWN so that the more flexible    
ASBESTOS is fitted UP against the manifold. I 
usually coat the metal band of the gasket, as 
well as the corresponding section of the exhaust 
pipe with nickle anti-seize so that it is easily 
removed next time..."
