Default Where to find header intermediate gasket?

I'm in the final stages of getting my STS2 CRX back on the road after a winter in a million pieces and I've run into a snag. I have a two piece OBX header and I can't find the exhaust gasket that goes between the header and the B pipe. The stock manifold is 4-1 and the header is a 4-2-1 so an OEM part won't work. Any suggestions on where I can get something that will work? TIA!

I cut one out of aluminum sheet. It works just fine.

I ran into the same problem, and realized the stock setup (dc also) does not use a gasket, it uses two crush rings. Put one ring on each side to seal the pipe where it bolts together at the header.
