How We Recreated a Kawasaki Base Cylinder Gasket
We just wanted to share a quick behind-the-scenes look at a recent project we completed here at Abbey Seals Cork, replicating a
Kawasaki base cylinder gasket using our in-house equipment and expertise.

Here’s how we tackled it:
Overhead Photo Capture: We placed the original gasket on our gasket table to get a clear overhead image.
CAD Tracing:
That image was imported into our CAD software, where we carefully traced the outline, internal holes, and slots.
Scaling for Accuracy:
We then scaled the drawing to its true size using two key reference points (e.g. width and height).

File Prep for Cutting:
Once the CAD design was finalised, we exported the DXF/DWG file and fed it into our Atom Flashcut machine.

Material Selection & Cutting:
After confirming material thickness, we cut a perfect replica from 3mm PGE, matching the sample provided.

This process is part of our day-to-day service, helping customers replace or replicate essential gaskets quickly and accurately. If you’ve got a gasket you'd like us to reproduce or a custom solution you need support with, just send us your sample and we’ll take care of the rest.
