All,
So the local auto places supply about 3 thicknesses if I'm lucky. Anyone (Syd or Mel) have a supplier that has many different thicknesses available?

Hi Sean,

Years ago I used to buy gasket paper from Blackwoods
in different sizes.. for work..
it was then very expensive...

Just went through the same process. Smallest I could find was .4mm.

Guys,
Thanks for the suggestions, got a Blackwoods in town, some bearing places & some engineering supply places. I'll start door knocking and see what happens!

lownslo,
I'll bear that in mind, hopefully I can get away from needing to find thinner than .4mm.
