Sorry, I never meant to imply I was going to solder them together. I was just whining about how I should jokingly solder them instead. I completley agree with you, in fact I wouldn't trust plumbing solder let alone my solder here at work.

 

I'm actually planning on picking up some scrap sheet stock and starting up the drill press to drill out a pair of partial gaskets.

 

I know everyone keeps saying that the fuel tank is too far away but I remember the HUGE recall of RX8s for just radiant heat from exhausts effecting the fuel tank.

I figured it would compress... thats why I was asking about using 2 gaskets. I'm better at breaking stuff then making stuff when it comes to welding. Now Soldering I can pull. I have some 10-2 or 12-2 back at the farm so I'll grab that and give it a try.

How much do the gaskets cost? Why not buy 1 or 2 of them (per side) and cut off them basically in half (call it 3/5ths since we'd leave the two mount holes on one piece and toss the other bit). Wouldn't this give you the same effect as the wire as SeeeYa's wire mod above and give the option of effecting thickness to desired sound level?
