There were heat insulating gaskets on my 750 Commando's inlet manifolds before I replaced them with a single carburettor. Does anyone know where I can get a similar gasket for the single manifold or material to make one (it looks likes bakelite). What if I don't use one?

Mine are made out of Tufnol, a phenolic laminate, which you can buy cheaply by the sheet here:

You can make your own out of a little piece of hardwood. Better than any synthetic stuff.
