Air Compressor Gaskets Question

[banjodunn]

G'day if you want to make a gasket to try it out use exhaust manifold gasket material the one that is like a heavy paper compound not the steel one you should be able to buy it at a good auto spare parts place i have done this as a get out of strife fix and have had it last for nearly twelve months (had the new gasket in shed for eleven months just never seem to find the time) but this will work to try it out, also i would cut the cut out back to 120 psi won't notice any difference in performance but less stress on compressor. Good luck with it all

Speedaire is a brand that was made by the W. R. Brown company until about 15 years ago, and Devilbiss bought them. You might check their parts site at Devilbiss Parts page with Ex-Cell and Porter Cable listings. and see if they list parts for it.

Tom,

I checked a number of parts and got nothing. I'll call next week to see if they can navigate their parts listings.

Jon,

Thanks for the tips. Sounds like you have "been there, done that."

Experience is a good instructor. Good advice to follow to see how everything works.

Thanks,

Clem
