if you have some extra gasket material from any kit just use a razor blade/exacto knife & cut your own. Havent done it but I dont see why it couldn't work expecially since alot of tailor made gaskets need a bit of trimming anyhow.

I could use all 5 that I have pictured, Ill look and see if I can find JUST a gasket set, but the rebuild kit is like $50.00 I dont need the other stuff..
the carb is new and it got some stuff past the bad filter and the car started running bad so I had to take it all apart to clean out the carb and those little gaskets pulled apart a little, everything else is fine.
what happened to the $10-$15 rebuild kits I use to sell at the auto parts store Ron...
