What should I do about a TB gasket?

I need a 58mm gasket for when I put my TB back on. Where can I get one. Should I just enlarge a 48mm one?

I'm having the same problem. Edelbrock does not make them any more or something like that.

Matt,
If you're looking for a stock one, I'm 99% sure I have one. I got it last spring when I did the intake oil leak fix, and never needed it cause I took the intake and TB off as one. I don't see any reason for needing one in the near future, so you can have it if you want.

AS&M and Holley still sell 58mm gaskets.

...OR, if you've got a steady hand and an X-acto knife, you can make one out of cereal box. Done it many times with many things....
