As soon as i drop the sub-frame mate the mani is yours and t5pete chomping at the bit for his 18t as well lol, re the gasket they only came on the 70's not the 850's but fit the same, defo do them from Rufe as i have one lol.

Edit just reread your post it's the gasket that goes between the turbo and mani not the downpipe/turbo.
