Hopefully as i have two lots of o rings i will have 1 decent set to reuse,When I did mine years ago, I seem to remember that there is no gasket per se. There are just a number of "O" rings that fit around the holes. I re-used mine as they were quite perfect at 100000km.
on the backburner while I prepare spare inlet manifold before taking mine off, tapped the 5 holes with m16x2 taps 10 minutes ago, bolts arrived this morning , hopefully washers and sealant will arrive tomorrow, if so will blank off manifold tomorrow and start stripping my ml down early Thursday morning and hope to get it back together by evening or friday not, fingers crossed it all goes according to plan and starts !How did you get on with the bumper repair

I was surprised at way swirlflap delete was done(was one owner), not in a hurry to sell anything off it , its just so handy having a complete spare car, will be swapping passenger door as that's the only rusty bit on my car, might get a cover/tarp for it and hang on to it for as long as possible.I think you said the spare car you bought was a one owner (might be wrong) who ever did the swirl flap delete obviously did not understand the concept of airflow !!!.
How are you getting selling parts of the car to recoup cost, or is that going to wait until you have every thing off it you need.
