Default Cosworth exhaust manifold to elbow gasket

Is there any gasket that goes between the top elbow and the exhaust manifold on a 2wd? can't find one for sale.

Just had to take mine off and found there is no gasket there and had a light leek from it.

Mine was leaking too and had just been reassembled... to get both ends straight they asked about 130€.

I've researched a bit about this one and, apparently, copper melting point is above 1100şC and is flexible enough to be crushed and seal well.

I'll buy a 0,6mm sheet of copper and will do a gasket with it.

Did it look like this?


No gasket, not a standard anyway, you get them between the turbo and manifold and they're usually more trouble than they're worth.
