    My dad, who owned a motorcycle shop for a time in the '70's, had a small ball peen hammer that I was absolutely NOT allowed to use for anything because it was his gasket hammer. Later, when I was trying to fix Fiats & Alfas, he showed me how to use it properly, and I learned the method was much more effective than scissors and a paper punch.

    creating your own paper gaskets is a lost art. Thank god that we have the right stuff to replace them.

    I am gonna give it a shot tonight! I picked us some gasket material. .45 shell casing may be close to the correct hole size to pound out. Top it off with a bit of RTV and call it a night.
