Default Gasket from Oil Filter Housing

Hey Guys,

So far as I know the gasket from the oil coolant thermostat marked at the picture is not available as a Single spare part. I have heard an standard o-rig should fit. Does anybody know this and maybe the dimensions?
Thank you!

There is a thread about it here. On post 5 it links to a page with the dimensions. It is 43mm OD, 3mm thick.

Awesome, I'm glad you could locate one. To save others time reading through that thread I have updated my post earlier to have a more-direct URL.

Hi.
My feedback:
Reiceived the o-rig today. 43mm does not fit at my car. It's too large. I think 38/39 mm would may be the correct size.....
Cheers

Seriously? That's terrible... How did it work for so many others? Any chance that you measured it to ensure you were sent the correct one?

Use a vernier or digital caliper to measure the actual OD.

my previous n54 ate the belt because of a leak from that housing. So i added the front seal cover.
