?
Looks like standard O ring

Ok great
Now to find one.

43 is not an oring

probably didn't find it on brickwerks because the description is wrong, been meaning to tell them

dunno why both a gasket and an O ring listed in the same application

There may have been a time when they made a pipe with an oring groove but all aftermarket pipes I have ever seen use a flat gasket.

And Ive never seen a metal pipe!
Only ever seen a plastic elbow..

Look like Im gointo have to dump two perfectly good elbows

Stainless ... fit and forget next time you swap the waterpump ..

plastic elbow really? have a pic?
If you really want to replace a 30year old plastic part that is critical to the life of your engine then measure the groove and I'm sure we can find a standard o ring.
I'm sure I have a few metal ones that are servicable if you want one pm me

The original rubber seal for those plastic flanges were shaped to avoid the bolt holes ... they suffered from thermostathousingitis and split ... ask Putney.

I've decided to buy a metal pipe.


Keeping it original and adding the extra weight is a worry.

Yeah, obviously ... I mean they ALL came with a petrol Webasto water heater didn't they

In the future some wise crack will say.."well that's not original, VW didn't use stainless blah blah...."
I shall keep the plastic one, clean it, restore its black colour.
Pop it in a bag with all the other "removed for modernisation" parts.
