[AT] Gaskets for Zenith carburetors

[John Boehm]

I know how to make gaskets, I buy the material by the
yard when I do a tractor restoration to make gaskets
that I know are not available. The Zenith gaskets are
a bit harder to make than a normal gasket. I feel if I
can find a source for them at a reasonable price, it
is worth it to me to be able to buy them and spend my
time doing something more productive.

I do like Smitty's scanner suggestion and thank
everyone for all the sources they suggested. I checked
them out and did not find one with single gaskets for
sale.
