I seem to be overrun with Teflon gaskets & looking for a use for them, they are left overs from the Jensen porthole & whistle/Sv gaskets i make, they are approx 9/16" ID or 14.75mm X  7/8" OD or 22.65mm, i can shave the outside down a little ,but the ID will remain the same.
I would be happy to send the person/persons with the best suggestion a gaggle (bunch) of them for their input

Send some to your "favorite" politicians and convince them they are an expensive necklace that would look fabulous if they would just slip one on!

If you don't have any "favorites", I could offer some suggestions!!!

Have a raffle and donate the money to a charity.

You might be able to use them for Mamod/Wilesco SV's?, i used some of my teflon offcuts when i was clamping things down to protect the metal finish too.

Hi Bruce

Got any of those boilerwindow/porthole gaskets up for sale, could use a couple of sets for my 2 leaky #75`s

PM with a total incl. S/H to Denmark and a PayPal verified email if you do

Add a chain to the gasket and you then have a walking lead for your pet snake       ,.
