     By the right gaskets do you mean paper ones David Lee? Because the dealership had the paper style gaskets in stock though the rear feed hole still did not line up well so I enlarged it with the X-Acto knife. Maybe way anal but I feel better putting it together after having opened it up and then applying a light coat of spray copper. 

     SP33DY, That's a greet idea. The other set of gaskets that I have coming in the mail are metal core. Will keep your trick in mind for down the road. Thanks

Interesting. Use in a shop press? Country of origin?

Looks just like the used kit on eBay - made in China.

The one I use is made by Precision and made for cutting shim stock. Just line up where you want the hole and smack it with a hammer

Quote from: wfolarry on February 17, 2023, 06:25:03 AMI use the gaskets from S&S.

    S&S p/n 33-5302 for the pair. Looks like they may well have been private labeled with the S&S logo by the  gasket manufacturer. The ones I got from the dealer are made by Lydall/Interface Materials (formerly Armstrong). Apparently they are now a division of AFG - Accurate Felt & Gasket.
