I'll be needing them and a friend of mine will be doing a bottom end rebuild on one in the very near future.

I know you can buy gasket paper and an exacto knife. That's what I do. Never have figured out how to cut head or exhaust gaskets, though.

It takes a very skilled, and talented tech, to get them main bearings in without splitting the cases..

oops....just reread the original post and saw the "bottom end rebuild" ....

which brings to mind another item that I have done for some of my friends & customers....if given a diagram of the needed gasket, I have laser cut them both in cork and in rubber.

I was rebuilding one last year (the ended up a lost cause cause of trashed clutch packs) but when I was looking I did find gasket kits that claimed to fit the K and A.  Supposedly came with the extra gaskets.  Didn't buy one, so I can guarantee, but that's how they were advertised.  I think some were even on eBay.

As an interesting aside, you can even still buy the new friction discs, but at over $200 per stack (2 stacks per motor) it wasn't worth it to me at the time.

Thats a lot for an A or am i right in assuming bigger plans?

Put the number in for Mikes info as i tripped over the update just in case you were being told the old one was NLA without being given the supercission number, same as playing with the gasket numbers and middle modle numbers showed the top set to be still available, if pricey.

The gasket kits advertised fitting the "A" don't include the unique lower gaskets - just the top end set (that I've seen). If cmsnl.com actually has them, it may not be a bad deal as the only other place I have found them is on ebay. I've picked up a few NOS for about $20 to $40 but the last one I saw went for over $100.

Here's the set you need:
