I have (1) not a pair, just one side that I'll sell ya. I ordered from Thunder Racing - 1st off I ordered quantity of (1) 02' Multi layer gaskets thinking that meant one pair - but no, it meant only one. Then I ordered the entire wrong gasket to begin with - I need the graphite gaskets for my 2k TA.

I'll give you a good deal ($20 shipped) and then you only have to order the other side at full price

I can take a pic of it still sealed in the pkg - If I open it - it's not returnable. It is the gasket you are looking for. Part number is 12573949, multi layer, has 'Front' imprinted along one end & '57L' along the other. Like I stated - I bought it from TR - just bought the wrong one for my year - I was told this will leak big time on my car.

Send me an email to the address above & I'll send you a pic of it in the pkg.
