Easiest way is to remove the old gaskets, get a couple of sheets of gasket material at NAPA and cut out your own. I've seen that answer in many, many threads.

Thats a CROCK LOL... Those are ptobably GROCO 1500's (1-1/2" inch) strainers. Make youre own with a gasket cutter sure. FIT is critical. Inspect and consider getting a new acrylic body as well. I had a gasket slip last year so the pump was sucking air easier than water taking out the pump, exhaust maifold and a Velvetdrive trans. Cleans the brass frames and use some spray glue to hold the gaskets proppa. Then assemble.
