Gasket/Washer Help - Custom Project

[M.Cueva]

Ok guys, I have a gasket/washer issue. I want to finish my HID projector retrofit as found here: http://www.jrrod2004.com/silverado/hidretrofit.html

I am in need of a gasket or washer that can meet the following specifications:
Rubber/Plastic/Metal composition
Outside Diameter of 3 inches
Inside Diameter of 3/4 inch
Thickness of 1/4 inch or thicker.
Temperature range of 0 degrees to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

It might be pretty hard to find one pre-made. I'd just make my own. It would probably be easier to find the right raw material then just cut out the needed size.

Ok Darin....got any idea where the heck I can get some raw material??? I have looked hi and low all over Austin for some but cant find anything....I guess I am logistically challenged

McMaster-Carr is a great place to find anything.

Nice, any chance on a gasket as well that might be suitable for this application as well???

Well...I should have listed closer to matt...i might have found the combo that I need...

 

[mblouir]

Huh? Did you need help searching for something else? Or do you mean you found it on McMaster?

 

[M.Cueva]

It looks like I might have found the gasket as well....I am trying to find some good rubber to close up the gap and make it waterproof as well and handle the temps....

Here's another place. You just tell them what you need and they make it and ship it. Or you can by and make your own.
