Anyone know if this still available, or the business is still in operation? Anyone running one of these on there 1600?

DAC21,
I have been running the silicone VC gasket on two different cars with R16s and love them. Good seal from oil leaks after adjusting valves and stays pliable over the years.
I run them dry with no Permatex or similar.
I have gotten my from Gasket Innovations aka Alexander Racing. The founder from ‘70s is still there and great customer service.

Thank you, the exact same pictures are used on the Datsungaskets.com website as Gasket Innovations. Wondering if they are affiliated??
Edit: Ordered from Gaskets Innovations $27 delivered. Datsungaskets.com website is a bit rudimentary to be kind, and cost a bit more. No response to an inquiry as well. Granted its been only a day.
Thanks again

I've been using one for about 2.5 years and they're great. Never leaks and hopefully the last one I'll need to purchase.

Nice to see another company making a part or two for our cars.
