Wayne,

You can make your own. The purpose of these is to fill the void. I would 
use Halomar sealant. Make sure the paper gaskets are coated well. Proper 
bolt position & torque are critical to get a good seal. Two of these 
bolts intersect each other, so bolt length is important. The aluminum 
block is soft to don't be surprised if the bolts securing the oil pan 
strip. If this occurs get some /Keensert

/. I used these & never had a problem again.
