Gasket for oil pan GS850G

[Larryr58]

Hello All, I need a new gasket for the oil pan on my 1982 GS850GZ, they are very hard to purchase as all the suppliers I have tried mark it as discontinued and no stock. Hence I am going to make my own gasket. The existing gasket has a waxy feel to it, does anyone know what gasket material this is?
Thanks for your help

Heres one on ebay. Link below....

I looked around local parts places for the paper waxy coated material to make a valve cover gasket. Wound up using cork. It works in a pinch but had to retighten bolts often and it started weeping oil within a thousand miles.

How about $9 shipped? https://www.ebay.com/itm/174185768331 Can't hardly buy the material for that these days.

Edit: actually I just noticed two things: 1) that seller does not have the best reputation 2) You're in Oz and all of the other options are pretty spendy from your point on the map. So probably best to just ignore me.

Cover any gasket you make, even a paper one, with Honda or Yamabond # 4, and you won't ever have to worry about it again.
