If a gasket and not a plastic spacer just about anything will do.

 

Dollar store hole punch, pencil, scissors and a cereal box and about ten minutes. I've done this with my water pump, the two fuel pump gaskets, the thermostat and thermostat housing gasket. You almost never have to buy one again or are never stuck without a way to make one.

                                 On the parts car it's Brown,& aprox. 1/2" thick.

Appears to look plastic,but not sure if it is.Couldn't get the carb off

of the parts car.You have to remove a bunch of stuff to get to the 

one remaining nut (Surprise!).

                 There ALWAYS seems to be one nut/bolt that's hard to remove.

For my L carb I cut the box end off a 12mm wrench and smoothed it. Only 3" long but works like a hot damn. Also have a magnet and a dental pick to flip the nut & washer off and capture it with. The dental pick also holds the nut as you lower it on and over the stud. Once on, the pick can be used to rotate it to get started.
