I am restoring a '48 Panhead using the original 3 piece steel manifold and an M-75 Linkert carb. I was told by someone at the Hanford AMCA meet that there was a foam type manifold seal on the market that was better than the brass ones. I have looked all over and can't find anything close. Has anybody out there ever heard of this, had experience using this or know where they can be had?
Thanks
Better way to seal manifold to inlet

Not foam, but an exotic thermoplastic call Phenyl Ethyl Ethyl Ketone (PEEK).

Many folks around the world are cutting it....but beware that worn manifolds must also be re-cut to true-and-round before new ferrules can be custom-fitted.
The result is a lifetime repair that doesn't take a cheater bar to seal!
