Exhaust gaskets R80GS

[Tango]

Would anyone be able to help with type of metal and thickness of these shim sleeve gaskets please?

Not inclined to pay £30 + shipping for a set of three (Tight)

cheers

Aluminium fizzy drink tins work very well as a substitute

I'm sure they are not that much from BMW ? Worth a phone call to your local dealer

Thanks, knew I could rely on you chaps for the answer I was looking for, maybe some OE at the right time, but for now its a can of Tango haha get it

Thanks again

Actually the aluminum in soft drink cans melts / softens at a very low temperature, and usually ends up moving down to the intake the muffler where it melts and partially blocks the intake . DAHIK.
Luckily I found out what the problem was and sorted it out , but some folks end up blaming the parts they have just fitted and bad mouth them mercilessly at every opertunity forever after.
