How would I go about that though? Haha. You mean just stamp it out using a chisel or cut it with a dremel or something? I'm not sure if I showed you when you were here but I have hardly any space between the mani and housing, probably right around 1/8" or 1/16" with this spacer on. If I do make a spacer I'll have to make it a bit thinner so I can use a stock gasket on both sides like RotorDad said. What is your name btw RotorDad? LOL

I would take a good gasket, trace it out on an AL plate and start cutting, grinding and polishing. I've got a few templates like that out of 1/4" or 1/8" to recut my stock gaskets to port matched sizes
