Default FAST 90 TB seal alternative?

Anyone know where to get a gasket for the 90mm TB? Its just a big o ring is there a generic part number that NAPA might have? Thats all I'm missing to put my FAST on. Dont feel like paying 9.27 plus shipping to get one from FAST. Thanks.

By the time you spent the gas money to go buy one from a local parts store, you're gonna be into it 9.27 or more. I would go ahead and order the correct o-ring gasket and call it done.

i got a fast 90 that had a stretched gasket . my remedy was to cut the gasket , apply a small bit of rtv and push hard till it came around then put a glob in between wear it broke . my idle has been fine and i have remove the tb several time without any issues .

I went ahead and ordered it from WS6 store. They were cheaper than FAST and I needed the coolant kit which I got from them too. Ended up saving about 20 bucks instead of going through the dealer.
