Just  getting ready to place my winter Westy parts orders for the
upcoming repair  season...I mean camping season.  I will be replacing my
original  radiator and just wondering if I should order new mounting
gaskets (p/n 431  819 225) that are at the top and bottom of the rad,
they look like they may  be a foam type gasket looking at ETKA.  Are
these gaskets usually  replaced when fitting a new rad?  Thanks





Pascal,  I find they don't usually need changed.  However, it's one of those
things  you don't know until you get them out and see them.
