Porthole gasket replacement

Post by frankfurder »

Yesterday one of my gaskets poped out of the groove on my 1983 25d. Any ideas on how to reattach it to the bronze?

Plain old contact cement. Clean the surfaces, coat each surface, wait a few minutes and press back in place.
I'm presuming that the gasket has some life left in it and is worth reinstalling.
