Cylinder head gasket

[Rex]

The old girl suffered the ignominy of a blowing head gasket this morning. The current gasket is a composite gasket from the Feked shysters but I want to use a solid copper item next time.
Any recommendations for a UK supplier?

I've got a couple of spare copper ones for an A10 pm your address and I'll put one in the post to you on Tuesday.
It'll need annealing before you use it. Can't remember which one was from the SRM gasket set and which I got from Stafford show a couple of years ago but either should be good quality.

That's very good of you Jase but I should've said that my bike's an A7. Some sites seem to indicate that A7 and A10 gaskets are interchangeable and some list both types. I'd like to take you up on your offer but it would be waste if I can't use it on my bike. Anyone know definitively?

G'day Rex.
The A10 gasket will fit (short stroke A7) just the bore hole will be a little large (70 compared to 66 for yours). Been running one on my A7 for many years.
