That's real nice work. Those gaskets are crap, I bet yours last longer than the factory ones.
I don't like salt- should be banned. It screws up the soil, plants, tarmac, and it promotes weeds, etc.
Not to mention rusting cars! If it snows and the roads are impassable we should beusing proper with snow ploughs, tyres or plain staying at home. I like that last part most, its simply too risky driving a 5er in icy conditions. Best to get a bumper car for 'cold days'... LOL!
