Gaskets

Am trying to source carb to inlet manifold, inlet manifold to head and exhaust manifold gaskets for a standard pinto, I can find the last 2 on eBay and online motor factors but not the carb to inlet manifold one. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Preferably where I can get the full set to save multiple deliveries.

Try these people http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-PINTO-2-0L-OHC-HEAD-GASKET-SET-VCH-864-/200474202020?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ead318fa4
They have done odd gaskets for me in the past.

Get some gasket paper, then place over the inlet and carefully tap around the edges with the round end of a ball pien hammer and viola, nice new gasket for pennies.

This will do all the inlet side, exhaust is a different matter, you can probally get away with exhaust paste if the manifold is nice and flat.
