    Hi, all.
    I am fettling a Svea Campus 2. There is obviously some kind of gasket/packing material around the regulating spindle (see photo). But on my stove this was totally destroyed; Brittle, broken and gone :-)

    Getting a new gasket/packing is probably not possible, but perhaps someone know what this material once was?
    Graphite, bakelite or something else? Any good suggestion is welcome!

    I suggest it would have been graphite, or possibly graphite string.

    You can get graphite tape from The Fettlebox (link here at CCS), and use this to pack your spindle.

    Cheers
