That material is available in all sorts of sizes and thicknesses at dirt cheap prices. Use the old one as a template to whittle out a new piece.

A search on the web showed this result GM 5465109This what your looking for??? Hope it's helpful!

Foe the price I could buy it and hope it is big enough to cut my round top gasket.

If a "round top", almost sounds like the standard equipment used on '66 and earlier cars - not a truck cylinder???

Probably a lot of swapping parts back them at the factory. I had a new 65 chevy car back then. Probably used the same master cylinder?

Here is a listing from Advance Auto Parts: 1966 Round master cylinder gasket
