Not sure you even need one except to compensate for irregular mounting surfaces.
I am looking at the Hurst gasket and it just looks like common gasket material (resembling thick paper, not rubber) that is about 1/16 inch thick. You could use the base of the shifter as a template and easily cut your own. The factory gasket was thinner and more like rubber, so I would think that thickness was not critical.

I've been the Hurst route and encountered a torn gasket. I just used a tube of silicon gasket repair to hold it together. When I got tired of the hard shifting and put the stock unit back in, the "stuck" gasket was still in place and fine, so I reused it.
