Hi
The gasket should be cork. if you are making one i would say somewhere around 1/8th to 3/16th of an inch if the plate is true and not bowed / bent :wink: . I made one for mine and its a bit thicker than 1/4 inch. The face surfaces where pitted, and I wanted to make sure it squashed up really well to seal. Plus it was a left over off cut from another job, so it was free :!: and it worked good :) .
Regards Robert
