I went to buy a head saver shim for the temporary A14 I'm giving a birthday to untill I can afford new pistons for my blown A15.
And I'm told that they don't make them anymore! They rang the two places that supply them, and they are NLA. I even rang every parts place in town to see if anyone still had one in stock. None did.

WTF am I gonna do now? It'll cost HEAPS to get one made.

2 or 3 head gaskets
thats a tricky one, cant import one?

what about bpro i think they make thick nismo gaskets and even thicker other brand ones

I doubt itd be heaps to get one made....
Laser cutting isn't the most expensive thing out

Ive read in mags of ppl using double head gaskets, no idea how long term reliable tho.

Two head gaskets=fail.

I can get a thicker gasket made, but that's waaaay more expensive than my beloved cheap off the shelf shims. It wouldn't be like MEGA expensive, but I'm not known for being a big spender. lol
Thats money that i'd rather put towards new pistons.

How thick we talking? cos I just bought some A14\15 head gaskets from the states and they're thicker looking than this monotorque kind I have

ACL in Brisbane is where they make the head gaskets. Back in the days of stone wheels I had some shims made up. It wasn't that expensive because they had the patern so it was a simple matter of stamping it out. If ACL still carry the A series paterns, I can't see why getting a shim should be so hard. I'd give them a shot, can't hurt!
