Default choke block off plate gasket

I have an Edelbrock Performer intake with a 650 Holley carburator on my 69 Firebirds 400 engine....its a manual choke ,so there`s the choke block off plate on it...
last week I encountered an exh leak, and located it to a blown gasket at the choke block off plate...made my own temporarily with the Mr Gasket gasket material...BUT I am hoping I could find this type gasket in aluminum ,copper or such., what was there was not.....
anyone have an idea on where I could find that ,if available?
I checked closest O`Reilly, no such luck...

I made a block off plate on both sides of the exhaust ports in the heads with a Stainless steel plate. The stainless plates are durable and will last a very long time.
