Anyone have a solidworks or other CAD file for the flat copper gasket people use between the downpipe and catalytic converter/testpipe? I know they are available at lindsey, etc., but interested in doing my own... Thanks

This gasket...

If no one has a file already, I can measure the one I have a tonight. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes model it, at work, tomorrow.

Would just a .sldprt do?

Tom M'Guinn

That would be great! Thanks.

Why not...you know...just trace it...on a new piece of copper...

I'll go outside now.

I've done that before -- in fact the picture above is home-made traced gasket. Just thought it would be nice to have them CNC cut with choice of material, etc.

thats pretty good

I have the tools and had a few minutes to spare, so here is a SLDPRT file.
It is in SW 2001+ and therefore compatible with later versions.

Not knowing how to attach a SW file, I camouflaged it as a zip file, so just save it and remove the ".zip".

The dimensions are based on an OEM cat-pipe flange (which mates to the downpipe) and I selected a random .080" thickness.

Thanks guys -- I now have my choice of files!! Very much appreciate it!

If I had something to trace, obviously I would have done it!
I wanted a drawing for the water table...
The link must be long gone. Any chance of a resurrection?

The link Laust provided is still good. Download it, then removed the .zip extension, so that it ends in .sldprt Then it can be recognized and opened as a SolidWorks part file.

I just downloaded it and compared it to the one I made a few years back. His is for a stock diameter flange, mine is for a true 3" flange. They can both be used on a stock flange, but its better to use the stock sized gasket with a stock sized flange.
