A quick look on ebay showed the only gaskets were being sold out from the US for $20 + postage!

I re-used the old gasket since it came off in one piece and I applied dish washer soap on both sides before re-mounting. The soap will harden into a hard but still flexible goo much better than any gasket paste I've tried. Here, (Norway) milk is sold in containers made from thin cardboard coated with wax. I use this material in combination with dish washer soap as gaskets where the pressure and temps are moderate. I've even re-used copper cylinder head gaskets (inboard marine engines) with dishwasher soap with great success.
