Well guys Im at a loss at the moment. Im preparing to clean my throttle body but im having such a hard time sourcing gaskets. I want to replace all 3 when i do it. One on the throttle body and two on either side of the bellmouth. Problem is I cant find them anywhere. Went to repco - no good. Went to Holden - got one for throttle body but they recommended going to Bursons to get the others. So I went up there but they dont seem to carry anything. Whats going on? Where is everyone else getting them from. Should i just get a roll of gasket material from supercheap and make my own. Im hesistant to do this cause I dont want to muck around cutting them only to have one fail and give me problems. Where can I get these gaskets? Should I try other Holden dealerships?

you can buy a manifold gasket set that has all the seals.
