    Exhaust Manifold Gaskets Needed

    I pulled the exhaust manifold on my 1930 Indian Four and discovered 3 of the 4 gaskets were shot.

    Someone suggested trying a lawn mower repair shop for gaskets. Anyone have any idea what gaskets would fit the Indian?

    If not, other sources for gaskets would be appreciated.

      Thanks, just sent him an email.

      I appreciate the help on this and can't wait until I get the bike back on the road.

        I have emailed to a handfull of people who were all recommended to me as a good source for exhaust gaskets and either they do not reply or don't have any. Guess it's time to cut my own.

        Not having done this before are there any suggestions on how to get the best results or better material for this?

        Thanks in advance.

            Thanks to all for the suggestions. I just got 2 sets of beautiful looking gaskets for my Four from Tom Fickau and hope to install them this weekend. If they work as good as they look they should last for many years and miles.

            Thanks Tom - nice gaskets!
