jerry's gaskets
in april i ordered a set of stainless works headers thru the zr-1 net registry and at the time manufacturing said it would take 8-11 weeks to manufacture. so i was made aware of this time and ordered them planning what i could do to the car during this time. i also had stainless works drop ship the headers to jet hot to get coated, i have been using debbie to get my exhaust systems for about 30 years now. about 2 weeks later she sent me an e-mail wanting me to confirm my choice of coating but i did not do that for another 2 weeks, it was going to be another 1-2 months before she would see the headers. so when i called her she said that the headers were there in manufacturing and after she sent me a picture of the headers on the cart i knew they were mine. stainless works must have had a set on the shelf ready to go. the headers showed up last wednesday but i did not get home till kind of late and opened the box to inspect everything. there were no header gaskets. i googled zr-1 header gaskets and zip and a few other corvette specialty houses had them so i ordered them from zip and went to bed. next afternoon i had a 'doh' moment, or commonly called a 'senior moment' and thought of jerrys gaskets. sure enough, he had them, and they were $5.00 cheaper than zip, and closer. so the box with the gaskets showed up yesterday and when i opened it up, right there on the plastic containing the gaskets was a sticker with 'jerrys gaskets' on it.
on a side note, i ordered a seal from jerrys on monday afternoon and it showed up today. i learned my lesson, go to jerrys first. |

Re: jerry's gaskets
Yep!! Jerry is one of "us".
The way I see it, if someone is willing to throw marbles in the game, he deserves our support. I have not ordered a "lot" of items from Jerry, but every time I need something I check with him first. If he has it, that's where it comes from! Jerry always responds to my inquiries, even answers the phone himself most of the time. Great customer service, knowledge of the product and competitive prices makes me wonder why some would venture elsewhere!

Re: jerry's gaskets
Over the years I've tried about every header gasket available. Jerry's are by far the best. All I use now.

Re: jerry's gaskets
I look at Jerry's first after looking all over for small parts and gaskets. What a great place that has the hard to find stuff! Even had the correct bolts for the oil pump inspection cover!
100% happy and enthusiastically recommend. |
