      Have replaced all three(#2/#3) along with crossover. No need unles they're leaking or coming apart.

          I don't think so

          I have done my 11SF twice without replacing the gasket and had no leaks. It's a nice soft copper material.

          I replaced them on one of triples but not the other. No problem in either case.

          It doesn't seem necessary unless there something wrong with the gasket.

              Ian, Do you have a picture of the cross over gasket?

                      Hi Ian,
                      Thanks. Now I can say I have never seen one before.

                          Yeah Phil, I had an extra one for one of my 750's and changed it. I brought the idea up, as I'm swapping a different pipe onto my pipes. I may keep this in the back of my head come Spring time.
