I have heard alot of people talking about dubious Uni joints. I am now in need on some as when mine came out today they came out in mutiple peices. So where is the best place to get them now and how much?

Second question, Can I use a 1275 head gasket on a 998? I have one here and i want to use it rather than having to go get another 998 one. So can I or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Cheers
Aaron

Best rubber U/Js probably are from Mini Spares UK or their various resellers here.
Don't overtighten the U-bolts... :wink:

NO you can't use a 1275 gasket on a smallbore head- there is a BIG water hole below the thermostat area in these and a 1275 gasket won't cover it.
However, if running a 1275 head on it, a 1275 gasket is the one to use.
