HELP: Spacer or gaskets needed between Carb and Intake Manifold

As the subject reads, does anyone know where to get the gaskets that go on either side of the black spacer (with all the hoses)? Pics would help also, as I might be able to make my own gaskets. Does the Victoria British Carb Kit come with these gaskets? Thank you!

How did you make the gaskets? Which vacuum holes did you leave sealed and which did you cut?

The carb kit I had didnt come with any, maybe someone elses did. Since I plugged all vaccum lines, the gasket I made I covered the holes to Its been a really long time...

I recently bought the carb kit from Victoria British and it did not come with the gasket. I ordered it from Mazdatrix....Vic

Ok, then what are those two gaskets in the picture in the VB catalog? They can't be for anything else, can they? They've got 4 bolt holes cut out as well as the primary and secondary holes.

I have the catalog and I can see what you are talking about. I thought the same thing but when my carb rebuild kit arrived it had all kinds of things in it, some so small they got wedged between the folds in the cardboard box it came in, but no carb base gaskets. I think maybe they just have them in the picture for astedics(sp?). Maybe you have to order them seperately from VB.
