Re: 1955 Fleetwin Exhaust Cover and Baffle

When the parts were new and straight without any corrosion or pitting, it was probably OK for the factory to use a special sealing compound instead of a gasket. Go forward sixty years and those parts probably aren’t as nice as they once were. I find the price of an extra gasket to be cheap insurance for preventing any annoying leaks in this area. You just have to make sure the screws are long enough now to grab the threads in the block good. 😀
