According to the parts list, the pneumatic fuel pump should have a gasket between pump & timing case, see item 94:


Where can I get such a gasket?

Or is it a case of make your own? If so how thick should the gasket be?

Thanks for your advice,

Good practice dictates that a gasket should be as thin as possible subject to the condition of the mating faces. There are exceptions to this rule where the gasket forms a spacer such as cylinder head gaskets, which doesen't apply in this case.

A gasket cut from a Corn Flakes packet will be quite adequate or you could use one of the liquid instant gaskets which are available.

How does 0.4mm (1/64") sound?
This seems to be a standard thickness.

That is about as thin as you will get with gasket paper and will be suitable for this application.
