Coleman 424

[RichardJackson]

I have just tried to use a secondhand 424 for the first time. In dissembling to check the fuel route to the burner for blockages, I took the burner head (201462 cap and fillers master burner) apart. I broke the thin fibre gasket between the stacked parts of the burner head and the body they were all screwed to. Is this a critical part and where can I source replacements, please? They are not listed as a spare part...
Oh the joy!
Thank you, hive mind

You're likely to get leaking if you try using it without the gasket.

For replacement parts try either The Base Camp or The Fettlebox

Don't know if this too late now, but I use several Coleman stoves and over the years have replaced the fibre gasket you speak of, with ceramic fibre paper off ebay. I can't remember now if I got 1 or 2mm thick, but you can use it double anyway. An A4 sheet costs very little. Just cut your own gaskets - simples!

Nice!

I want to strip mine down - literally - paint, the lot. The gasket was putting me off!

Update - I just found the remaining half of my A4 sheet of this stuff - it was the 2mm thick sheet. I can't remember how long ago it was I got it, but I don't think it was more than a fiver, and enough to do loads of gaskets, including the one on my domestic gas boiler, between the burner enclosure, and the small glass pilot light window.
On the envelope is a label that reads:

"Smile Awhile" Ceramic Fibre Paper For Glass Artwork A4 size x 2mm thick

On the down side, included in the pack was the slip that reads:
