Mike:

If this is the same gasket as I think it is (clear?), they are not
made any longer. Tried to get one for my '70 TR6 and TRF and Moss sent
me the wrong gasket, or at least not the same as the one on my car.

I'd suggest either making one if so inclined, which I am not, or
contacting
one of the listed dealers in Hemmings which sells parts from TR6 part
cars
(sometimes refered to as junk yards). There is also  a dealer in
California 
which specializes in hard to find/standparts which many are no longer 
manufactured. I have been lucky getting such items from them (most
recently
the infamous 4 prong hazard switch). Sorry, can't access web site for
their
name but the number is 1-800-987-4867.

Hope this helps.
