Need to bodge up a rope gasket

JMSE · 2011-09-30 20:09:17

The muffler on my old lawn-boy mower had to come off for a cleanout but the old rope gasket was in bits and caked in gunk. Any suggestions as to how I can make up a replacement. Would the replacement go on fire even? I have an old bootlace that goes right around the muffler and fits right into the groove. Any suggestions?

Oven door glass rope - it's heat resistant.
