    There used to be a supplier in Ca. that had hardware and gaskets.They were very very good.I used them back in the 90's I can't remember their name though.If I do I'll post it.Can anybody else chime in?P.S not the normal importers.

    I just did a valve adjust on my 69s and the gasket kit came from wrightwood with blue nylon in the lock nuts. I bought them through my local independent
    Porsche repair shop.

    Just went and checked size. The nuts on my 69 are 13 mm, so if the earlier cars used 14mm then you probably need to check with wrightwood.

    Richy and I have discussed this many times, never found a source. I do have one old stock 14mm ATF nylock if measurements are needed.

    Joris, if you find anything on your side of the pond or make a batch I would love to buy some.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Brad, I have been playing with the idea of having these made. I have done quite some hardware for the 356's over the years to ensure authenticity. Will probably PM you to confirm some measurements
