throttle body gasket
i need the small, rubber band looking gasket that goes on the intake side of the TB... anyone got a part # for the mazda part? (i dont understand the part # list pdf 
)
also, what is the white stuff that holds it in the groove? when i took it out, there were a couple of spots of white crud holding it in, and i had this same stuff (in the same spots) on my old TB, what should i use for that?
estimeated price on gasket too?
p.s. i bought a throttle body from banzai racing, $45 shipped, and both the diaphragm and the dashpot seals are good! they work! ive never seen a working diaphragm on one of our tb's
i wonder how this will work when i get it in.
also, is the TB mod worth it on an n/a? (ported) if not i wont bother.
[s5 na (1989 gtu) btw]

The FD guys get their throttle body o-rings from mcmaster carr but they arent the same size as FC. Maybe someone here knows what size FC is though.

Mine leaked due to how closely I cut my ports when the TB was ported and polished. I used some permatex "RTV". I squeezed the tube over the grove letting it build past it just a tiny bit all the way around. Push it into place whipe off any excess works perfectly.
