Carb gasket for an ‘87?

I’m replacing the carburetor on an ‘87 civic base model with the 1.5 engine.

I'm having a heck of a time finding a base gasket for it. Does anyone make them or sell them?

I'm pretty good with the internet, but I can’t find one.

Rockauto doesn't have them. My wife works for Oreilly auto parts, they don't have them.

The rebuilt carb I got didn't come with one, apparently because no one makes them anymore. And apparently its not just the gasket, but the entire base/insulator tends to be bad, and no one makes those anymore either. Found one, used, on ebay, for $139...

wow these older honda's are getting to be expensive to keep up. i'm glad we don't have to overhaul carbs to often. ill keep my eyes open for anyone or place that may have 87 civic parts for the future.
