A6 Compressor Gasket
My A6 compressor had a gasket that held 2 filters for the connection of the manifold (hoses) to the compressor. Unfortunately it is gone. Any ideas of where to get a replacement>?

The original A6 had two O-rings that sealed the manifold, and one mesh filter on the inlet.
The O- rings are a dime a dozen, but the steel mesh filter is no longer available. There is only 1 filter on the A6 compressor. No gaskets either. for a while they sold 2 gaskets to seal the main valve plates inside the comp, but found they were not needed.

Edited: Sorry, been searching for OEM gaskets/seals/rubber washers that went between the main hose and compressor ('72) and been hitting brick wall. OEM probably not available? O ring will work? Have tried what I could find, 1 1/8, 1/8 thick. Would like some a bit thicker though. Thanks

Pull your old O- rings out and go to a auto parts and they all should have them. try and get the green HNBR ones. The mesh filter (only one is on the inlet (drivers side) they usually are clean.
