Default best header gaskets?

I was lucky enough to get ahold of a new S&S header for my A20, not long before they closed up, the header was brand new, but the gasket has split in half from sitting, this is an oddball gasket, and a pretty thick one, I thought about a factory manifold gasket, but they are very thin and designed for a cast iron manifold, anyone know of a quality gasket manufacturer who would stock a header gasket like this, or who could cut one from the two pieces of the original one? if I could get one cut, I would probably order several for spares

I am using a stock felpro gasket with my 4-1 itr knock off header. Works fine.

this is not a naturally aspirated question but a model specific question. I saw the A20 comes in older accords so i moved it to this section.

I pmed you, it's an 86, and I am building an all motor build for this, as far as I know I'm one of two people who still have one of these with an S&S, this is not a stock car by any means
