Default Gasket question

Hi

I have just purchased a secand-hand H&S backbox 2 1/2 with 2 bolt flange joint. Can i use the existing gasket seal or will i have to purchase a new one before changing over backboxes. Am i right in thinking that it is a spring loaded gasket fitted as standard to MY00 uk classic. tried at my local Aotosave store but they could not find the correct gasket in there manuals, where can i get one from.

Cheers

unless you're carefull or the gasket is fairly new, you'll need a new one.

not a problem as they're about a fiver from any main dealer

don't know what it's made of but it's nothing too funky, just a flat piece of rigid material with a metal ring in it.

don't know if you're supposed to, but i've always put a bit of firegum on both sides of the gasket aswell, no probs yet!

I've re-used mine 3 times, not leaked so far!
