I want to know if one can make these gaskets in picture (item number 8 ) as my local dealers don't have any in stock, and I need to fix a leaking fuel line.

Try German and Swedish car parts or Euro car parts. I wouldnt recomend making them. If they start leaking you will have to open everything up again to replace them

Err! According to his profile he's in SOUTH AFRICA!

Don't think ECP or GSF are going to be much use.

You could try local garages, as over here some still carry gasket paper in various thicknesses, so they can cut their own, when they are in the same stuation as you. HTH
I'm not completely perfect.......there are some bits missing or broken.
But the weather here helps!!!
