Anyone have an idea where I might get a throttle body gasket "kit" for a 75/76 FI Throttle body?

I sent out and had a few made, both sizes. Peel the gasket material
off your SS center, put these on both sides. Bruce Roe
Bruce,
Are you talking about the gasket between the throttle body air horn and base?

Greg Surfas
Yes I am, i do not have one for the 2 halves of the big throttle body.
Want to get some of those made?
Bruce
What would it take?

I made a very accurate drawing (to a thousandth of an inch) of a
rectangular gasket with 6 holes and 2 notches. Then I contacted
GASKETS TO GO www.gasketstogo.com or inquiries@gasketstogo.com
We worked out price and material thickness, PAYPAL, delivery is a
month or so from THAILAND. Obviously the price per gasket is a
lot less in some quantity and the postage being about the same
total. I made enough of the TB to manifold for 10 cars, have
been tested but very few sold. Bruce Roe
What about the SS Shim?

You peel the old gasket material off your old SS center, and put
a pair of these replacements on the 2 sides. Bruce
Dont have an old base gasket. Is it just a solid gasket/shim with two holes for the TB bores?

Bruce,
I am interested in getting both the air horn and the base gasket. Is this something you might have or have worked on?

I have drawings for the 76 TB and 78/79 350 TB to intake gaskets,
only difference is dia of air bore. And I have the complete layers that
go on either side of the SS center layer. The SS seems to survive just
fine, clean it off and reuse. Guess a machinist could make the SS from
the same drawing, but there seem to be enough of them around.
The 78/79 350 TB is one piece, the 76 is 2 with a gasket. I have
not heard requests for this gasket, but you could do the same
process to get it made. Use it on my 403. Bruce
Bruce,
IO was able to remove and scan the gasket and sent off for a quotation. When I get it I will post it here.
Greg Surfas
Great, maybe we could trade later.
