If you can't reuse the old gasket, I think most any of the "bulk"
gasket material would work, probably with just a touch of sealant on
it.  On my last oil change (and the first one on my '80 Westy) after
much consternation, that is what I did, and so far I am leak free
with clean, golden oil still.

Good luck.

David.
