we have them made - check our web page for this and other goodies. the
answer is with your customer. he nneds to tell you the height
(installed) of the rockers. they may not be ours but the info should
apply. i would personally not invest the time to redo your gasket. the
answer is a thin alum spacer that beconmes a 2nd gasket. ted
