Weeellllllll, it might be OK without a gasket. The cork casket on my 51 is broke in one place and I've been babying it for a couple of years. When it totally fails I plan to make a replacement from cardboard (as from a shoe box or such, not brown cardboard). A ball peen hammer and a couple appropriate sized sockets are all that's required.
