OEM Gasket Material

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows what kind of material OEM Mitsubishi gaskets are made of? I'm talking about the speckled green looking material. Also, does anyone know where I could purchase similar or equivalent gasket material in bulk? Thanks in advance.

Sorry I've no idea.

I do know that I've always just used regular old gasket paper, or simply a tube of silicon sealant.

I' don't think you can get that exact material in sheet form but they do make comparable stuff if you need to whip up a custom gasket. Like it was said though a LOT of gaskets can be replaced with some gray RTV.

Try this place.

It's rubberized asbestos.

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to make off a one-off gasket that RTV or normal parts store material could work for. I'm hoping to get a considerable quantity of gaskets made, and just need to find a material that is similar enough to the OEM material. Can anyone confirm that the material is in fact rubberized asbestos? Is there a good place to purchase this material?
