RE: [ihc] Copper header gaskets for a SV

["Tom Reed" <treed@xxxxxxx>]

I had a hard time finding copper plate. I also wanted the copper as soft
possible. I've annealed copper to soften it in the past, but I don't have
the facilities to do it properly here. 

Besides there is a certain elegance to using common hardware store times ;~}

Sounds like a great idea, Tom. Is copper plate not available? (Looking for
the easy way out)

Isn't it funny how Stan uses those 3/8's bolt heads to tighten down the
flanges. I can see why, and it works, but it looks funny to me.

I sure hope it works, as I'll need gaskets soon.
