Exclamation FS-DE Throttle Body Gasket

Hi Guys,

I'm in need of a FS-DE 2.0l throttle body gasket - I pulled it off to clean it out, and the old gasket came apart in my hands! Anyone know where I can get one online, or somewhere in Adelaide, SA? Been looking everywhere!

make sure you use a razor blade to scrape off the old gasket really well... the surface must be completely clean and flat, otherwise the new gasket won't seal well!

don't make gouges with the razor blade... you're dealing with aluminium, so patience and due care is needed to ensure that doesn't happen
