Need some info on the 2 piece gas tank gaskets (854, 753, etc)

[JUSS10 250]

So for a while now I have been thinking of trying to laser cut some of these gaskets. I have a few of these tractors, some that I plan to restore. I'm sure one of these days they will leak and I would like to do it right but didn't want to buy the gaskets due to their high price. Does anyone have info on the thickness and material of these gaskets? Cork gasket sheet can be purchased relatively cheaply and I think it would cut quite well but wasn't sure if these were cork or paper or rubber. Also as I stated, I want to make sure I get the thickness right. Any info would be great. Also, are there any other "hard to find" gaskets for these machines? 

 

Thanks!

Justin, they are definitely a cork gasket. I use to have a couple 854's and both of them had the two piece tank
