[T3] Looking for gaskets

I’m  looking for a couple of gaskets as I put my engine back together (’71 
 FI).

The first is the round paper gasket that seals the breather upper  and 
lower parts.  To clean it out, I removed the special threaded sleeve,  and then 
separated the sheet metal and cast pieces.  The gasket was  destroyed (and 
after 45 years replacement is due)

The second goes  between the case and the oil filler assembly.

Neither seem to be in the  standard kit.  The first is a little tough to 
make from paper since it is  very small.  The second is an easier shape but 
submerged so it has to be  done well.

Any known sources?

Thanks,

I've always used a single port intake gasket in between the "tower"  and 
the breather box. I've found that it seems to work better than the paper  
gasket found in the full gasket kit.
 
As for the fill tube gasket, I believe there's one in the kit, but I  also 
add some hi temp silicone (ultra copper) to both sides of it. I believe an  
alternate gasket is the small carb gasket (sometimes found in the better 
gasket  kits), or a water pump gasket for a SB Chevy, that most parts stores  
carry.
 
I use the Victor Reinz gasket kit for rebuilding, as it includes the  
silicone (red) main seal in it. I get it locally from Car Quest.
I hope this helps.
