Hi, does anyone know where I can get gaskets for Lister H1 pump, or what gasket material is best for making them?
Look forward to your replies!

Were you born in Yorkshire?

No I just use whats available and works, I'm a southerner who lives in East Anglia.

I like your style

Paul,
My parents lived through WWII and where make and mend types which my siblings and I still do today, my grandfather was also a Model Engineer who made lots of things from nothing.

Thank you for your replies, I will give the cardboard(cornflake box) with a smear of grease a try, nothing ventured....

All my Listers use this method.
