You forgot the little piece of cardboard and RTV for the Gasket.

Like mentioned just make them..it's easy and you won't see it when it's installed so looks are not a factor.

I don't remember who I used on ebay, but I had two sets, shipped, for around $22. I needed the little tab one as my Mom's car has shorties on it.
