He just laughed and said that he'd rather not sell me something I didn't need, have it not work properly, and have his company get a bad reputation against their products. I was kind of shocked and pleased at the same time. Give them a call, you might save some money, I know I did.

Not very often you run across manufacturers willing to give up a sale.....for the right application they seem like great guys to deal with!
If I ever find the need for a gasket like they sell, I'll be sure to give them a call.
