"Paper" LIM Gasket

Anybody know where to find the "Paper" style LIM-Block gasket for an S5 N/A???
IIRC S4 n/a gasket won't fit S5 block due to slight port location differences....?

I checked Atkins Rotary and saw it came with the kit but not separately.
I also have the metal gasket from Mazda but i believe that was the culprit of my large vac. leak causing the engine to stall.

While I'm here i might as well ask about TB clearance. FSM says 0.5 - 0.7 mm. correct me if I'm wrong, but that's about the size of 5 sheets of copy paper so i could use that to measure it.

The S4 S5 difference is just a bolt hole location so just take a hole punch to an S4 gasket and make the other one.

Why do you want paper? The metal ones are reuseable and never deteriorate. Theyre not that expensive, about 25 bucks if I recall.

I have a couple of the old style paper s5 NA gaskets, but I dont really want to ship just that unless you won't complain when I charge 7 or 8 bucks in shipping.
