[SEL] Gasket material for oilers?

[Paul Maples]

Ok Gang I just ordered some pre-made gaskets from Hit & Miss Enterprises and 
I am going to order a sheet of the nitrile blend material that Curt 
suggested below for any future gaskets I may need.

Thanks everyone for the help, it is greatly appreciated.

Paul
