Furnace gasket material

[beardus supremous]

I am in the process of completely redoing my enclosed trailer/ camper conversion. One of my upgrades is a 1970's? Duo Therm propane gas furnace I am refurbishing and installing into the trailer. I've been taking it apart to clean and upgrade some parts, and modify to fit the trailer. Does anyone know a good gasket material to use in place of the white gasket that was on it? I do not need much, but is vital next to the burner.

My Webasto furnace coked up a couple of times when I was in the Rockies and I had to disassemble it without the right gasket to put it together. I just used a high-temp copper RTV silicone gasket that came in a tube from Ace Hardware. It works fine and no evidence of it leaking.

Thanks for the info. I did end up grabbing some of the same style of etc, we will see how it works out.

For an update on gasket material to anyone looking to replace the white felt like material for their gaskets, this material is what I found and purchased. Works great.
