replacing fuel pump question

I am replacing a racetronix pump on my 99 C5 and it did not come with the big gasket / oring at the housing.

The dealer sells it only with bolts and wants a ton of money, no parts store seems to sell it does someone have a part number or a place to buy one?

I am in norther CA

sorry I was talking about the big seal with bolts at the outside of the tank. The racetronix kit was very complete

thanks I found some, I was a little suprised of the price. I see that some of the kits come with new break off bolts, my tank had reg bolts at some point installed, is that an issue????

Yes, b/c the torque spec. is very important to make sure the gasket has the correct crush.
