Hello Zderf,

I suspect that you have solved your problem by now, but in case you haven't: It is easy to make a fairly good gasket.

Purchase some flat gasket material
To cut the mounting holes, clamp the adaptor in a vice and place the material over the adaptor. Use the round head of a ball peen hammer and center it over the mounting hole, now tap the ball peen hammer with another hammer and it will cut the hole. Hold th gasket in place with a proper size bolt and then make the rest of the holes, putting a bolt in each succesive hole to hold the gasket in place. Then take the hammer and tap on the edges of the inner surfaces. It will cut the gasket or at least mark it clearly so that you can see where to cut it. You can do the same to the outside perimeter. This all will take about 5 minuets and is quicker than going to the store for a replacement.
