The machine shop charged me $850 to make both pieces.

$850?? I hope you meant to say $85?

I mean $850 (3 years ago) for a one off part (base plate and bolt). Now they want $1354.20 (rip off). This is an online service. They provide free design software and I used it to make a stl file and 3D printed it before submitting it to be made. Otherwise I would have to find someone locally to make it. 3 years ago I was still working for a living, now I'm retired and can look around for a machine shop for the next oil filter adapter.

Man. I'm glad to be able to access and know my way around a lathe and milling machine. I can manufacture such parts for a lot cheaper...

Where can I find this gasket?

That gasket was taken from a complete gasket set and I’m not sure if it’s available separately.

Try Olson Gaskets from Washington State. The company is on this forum looking into getting a rear main cap for making a new seal design. EXCELLENT people to do business with!:thumbsup:

I've made my own gasket for the oil filter adapter before. It only takes a few minutes with an xacto knife.

See if these help you. You will probably have to play with the sizing or percentage in the PRINT settings.

I've made a lot of gaskets. I buy the material, lay it on the part, and then use the ball on the ball peen hammer and tap all of the edges. Then cut it out with an xacto knife.
