The following series of photos shows the steps for using Bob McCarty's Carburetor Template to make new body gaskets for your carburetor. You can find the posting for them at:
http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=64485
1. Outline the template onto 1/16th" gasket material with pen or fine felt tip:
2. Punch holes -
1/8" for idle tube and crescent ends
3/16" for bolt holes and float corners
5/16" for curve at edge of float hole
1 1/16" for venturi hole (or cut with knife)
3. Cut crescent using template and cut float bowl sides with template or straightedge using the knife knife (utility or X-acto):
4. Cut outside with knife and template or scissors. (NOTE: cut away drawn pen lines or gasket will be wider than wanted):
5. Tools used:
MANY THANKS to Bob for all his hard work!!

Re: Using Bob McCarty's Carb Gasket Template
The center hole should be 1 1/16", typo. Redfin cut about a dozen at Stonethrow and they turned out much nicer than my first practice one which is pictured.

Re: Using Bob McCarty's Carb Gasket Template
Doug, The smaller punches came from HF, the big one from McMaster-Carr. The scissors were mine and the X-acto knife was Dale's.

Re: Using Bob McCarty's Carb Gasket Template
From someone that was making the gaskets with a paper template , I can tell you this is the ticket. The outcome is a very close to oem gasket. Thanks to Bob for taking this on.. and Dale for posting the details here ..
