I made my own.
I went to NAPA and bought a sheet of gasket material and traced the
originals and cut out the new ones.
Cost about $5.00 for the sheet, used just a little for the door handles the
rest is ready for anything else that may need a gasket

The original ones I got from TRR were black tarred paper and have held up
for 10 years - occassional driving, mind you.

The latest ones I got from Vic Brit were simply tan cardboard.  Much less
robust looking.

I varnished them with urethane floor varnish, both sides before installing
them.  First coat of the thin varn ish soaked into the coardboard.  Hope
they hold up.
