[Mgb-v8] Gasket stuff

[Ficalora, Robert]

Depends where the gaskets are going... A good auto-parts store (around here
that'd be a Carquest or NAPA) will have a selection of different gasket
materials.  As an example, for fuel tank (e.g., sender opening) you'll want to
use something like natural cork (not rubberized) or maybe Karropak (which is a
fiber material) because the gas - especially if it has a lot of ethanol like
we do here in TX will attack rubber.  For other areas, rubber fiber or
rubberized cork would be ok.

I have to make all sorts of gaskets for my being-restored motor
car.  What is the best stuff to use?   Overkill is fine so I want the
very best.    Canadian Tyre offers cork/rubber which looks
traditional, and composite stuff that looks like leather
