Subject:Westy fridge combustion chamber gasket replacement
From:Giasson, Pascal (DNR/MRN)

I'm in the process of servicing & upgrading my fridge and need to replace
the rubber gasket that seals the upper and lower parts of the combustion
chamber.   I have looked for some suitable material locally with no luck.  I
have read on the Westfalia Owners Web Site, and on Frank Condelli web page
that a tire inner tube could be used to create a new seal.   Has anybody
used an inner tube for this seal?  If so how did it hold up to the heat of
the burner?  How did it look the next time you cleaned the burner?  As I see
it now my only two options are sealing with a high temp silicone (which will
make it difficult to get apart to clean the next time) or trying the inner
tube.  Thanks
