Has anyone got a good source of quality fibre washers?
Im struggling to seal the banjo on the 26va carb on the RP.
The issue is a rough surface on the carb body. I have tickled with a file, but there are a few pits, and this seems to cause a weep.
The old hard fibre washer was NBG. A new washer was better, but seems to keep compressing with time and every time I find it leaking again the perishing thing is basically loose.
I had it all dry. Started the car yeasterday morning and quickly had a drip. The banjo was fairly loose. Nipped it up (dry again).
50 miles later (when I got home) dripping again, and the banjo loose. Nipped again last night. I found it pretty lose again this morning as I took it off as I am going to anneal the pipe today, also attempt to improve the carb face with some JB weld and a file
Can anyone recommend a supplier of good fibre washers that do not do this?
