I made my own. Steve at VPW laughed when I tried to order one. You might check with them in case they decided to make some. If you make your own, use a dial caliper to measure the thickness of the old gasket. Buy some gasket material of the same thickness at your favorite auto supply house and then get out your ball peen hammer. Hold the material on the steering box housing and lightly tap all of the edges, including the holes. Do not tap too hard. Go around lightly several times. Strike with ball end at about 45 degree angle. In a few minutes you will have a custom made gasket! Old farmer trick my Dad taught me.
