Should I order one and wait for the post - or is it safe to cut one from cardboard or paper and maybe use a thin coat of (maybe) blue hylomar? Or grease? I don't want it all glued solid.It's a lot of work to replace if it all goes wrong- but I'd like to get the bike going. It looks like a wet weekend ahead
Ideally you should use gas…

Ideally you should use gasket paper but it's not essential. Just make sure the paper you use is neither too thick or too thin. I have just been working on a Rudge which has been lying since 1960 or thereabouts. The gaskets still had the maker's name visible on them - Kellogs. I happily re-used them. I would suggest Hylomar on one side of the gasket, grease on the other.Avoids the sticking together syndrome.
