I was wondering if anyone can snap a picture and share the dimensions of the gasket that is located under the gas tank. Length, width, width of each side and thickness and also a material it's made of - rubber, delrin, etc (Close guess is fine)

The part in question is number 19 - 506072075 on the diagram of parts fiche

Also if you got a picture of the part number 10 Spacer/Bushing it would be great as well



Thanks in advance

Hi Falcolion.

Is it the frame seal you are after ?

Is it the alloy or carbon tank you have ?

Finally got a few minutes to spare so got a few pictures.

The gasket tank-frame is 5mm think and 10mm wide and made out of close cell neoprene by the looks of it.



The tank bush to hold tank down is and alloy L-shape sort of thing , with a plan view



Its 20mm wide 25mm long and 15mm deep. This is for the carbon tank. Not sure if alloy tank is the same.

end view

Thanks guys. I have the gasket. What I am concerned/asking about is there something that goes under the front of Aluminum gas tank right where the screw is inserted.

In other words if you look at both of these pics you see 3 holes - the middle one for the screw and the 2 others, my assumption, are for some kind of rubber/delrin insert with 2 prongs. My assumption that if that particular rubber/delrin insert has little fangs/extensions that go into 2 sides holes and prevents it from sliding around.

Thank you very much for trying to help

Vlad

Spare alloy tank I have looks to have a fairing type attachment, alloy spacer with rubber mount. However , never fitted it so wouldn't really know.
Maybe the 2 countersunk holes are from the SB8R setup.
