Gasket needed

Part number is 256-14984-00
There's this offer on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1725080357 but it's a US supplier and the postage isn't quoted, might be extortionate.
Or Jerry Heiden has them: https://www.heidentuning.com/xs650-...loat-bowl-gasket-1970-79-xs-tx650-detail.html and again, postage from Holland to factor in.
Fowlers of Bristol lists the part https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/search/part/256-14984-00 they don't have any stock, but give the new part number ending with 01 instead of 00.
Yambits has these repros: https://yambits.co.uk/xs650-carb-float-bowl-gasket-p-95323.html which looks like a good deal for £2.99 each plus postage, which is usually £4 from them.
Or of course, you could buy some sheets of assorted gasket paper, apply a light coating of grease to the bowl - or use engineer's blue if available - press it on the gasket paper and cut out. I borrow my partner's nail scissors for making gaskets and a set of leather punches to make the round holes.

I've got some that I made with my wifes cricut machine, using the gasket material that you buy in rolls at the auto shop and then cut out yourself... PM me if interested, not sure what it'd cost to mail from California to UK but I'm game to find out
