if you have the skills you can make your own gasket for anything. just get the correct material for the application.

Go to Schucks or any parts store and ask for gasket material. Try and find a material made for heat. Cut a small piece that is a little bigger than the AIR connection, then hold it down on the header flange and rub hard on all edges to make an imprint. Then just cut it out. Anything will help to get you by...
