0611 = Grp A gasket
1261 = Std Gasket

Std gasket is the one to go for with wire ringing - check the condition of the wire rings also.

Have you tried:

Amber Performance
Woodford
PJ Motorsport
R&B Motorsport
SCS
Stu@MSD
Cosworth
TS

There's a guy on eBay selling a 409bhp RST that might be able to find you a nice gasket
