[Shotimes] Throttle body gasket

[Ian Fisher]

You can also buy them premade. Do a google search or
search on ebay. There's a lot of junk out there but
there's some nice stuff too. Of course the good stuff
is more money; at that point you can make something
just as functional even if it isn't as pretty.
