Default 6 cyl Gaskets (head)

Claude,


I cannot fit 15" wheels on my 409, as the homologation papers specify only
16" wheels and in Italy this, like the size and speed rating of tires, is
one of the things that could land you in real trouble if you get involved in
an accident. Of course I would like to get some new straight Dunlops (does
anyone have a set for sale?) but I think that Audi steel is not bad and they
look quite 'right' on the car.
Thanks anyway

Stefano

I tried the steel spare from my Mercedes E class on my 408 and it fitted okay.

You could buy them from a scrap yard
