The original gaskets are about 5mm bakelite with a paper gasket bonded to each side. The dual carb engines use this same paper gasket by itself. Because the "correct" gasket is rather expensive, I just buy the dual carb gaskets and put one on each side of one of the bakelite insulators after cleaning all the remains of the previous gasket off. This takes 4 paper gaskets per FI engine. NONE of these gaskets comes in any of the gasket kits that I have ever gotten, so you have to do something. I don't think the silver steel gaskets that are for the beetles are a suitable substitute as they may tend to crack the bakelite.
