The gasket on the MAF housing was stuck from over the years. Of course it ripped in two when I removed it. I only had half so, when I was tracing it. I flipped it 180* to get the rest of the profile.

Yes, I picked it up at Autozone, comes in a roll. This was some kind of rubberized material, they also carry cork. Many times You can't find a gasket you need or you mess one up. It's nice too be able to make your own.

Have you ever tried a hammer to cut the gasket. Light tapping on the edges cuts the material. The hole punch's are cool, nice round holes.
