Fuel sender/sensor gasket

I am looking for a fuel sender/sensor gasket for a 1982 RX7 GSL. Everywhere I’ve looked they are NLA. Is there one from a different car that would work that I could get from O’Reillys or Napa?

They used to be available separately from the fuel level sender but I dont think that's the case anymore. A new fuel lever sender does...or did in the past...come with a new gasket.

Is your sender rusted in at all? Mine is completely sealed to the tank, not sure how to get it out without dropping it. Gasket wise I’d agree with just making one, unless you can get a bnib oem unit

It's best to remove the tank to gain access to the sender screws. They can be difficult to remove when they are not rusted...so when they're rusty, they're downright awful to remove. The screw heads love to disintegrate when you try and remove them.
