Gasket for airbox to throttle body?

Hello VAF Friends,
Can anyone advise a suitable gasket for the mating surfaces between the airbox and the throttle body for the Lycoming IO-360 engine?
On my recently purchased RV7A, when I disconnected the airbox, I discovered previous owner had used black silicone to create a seal between the two surfaces - doesnt seem like a really good solution to me - but Im also not certain if there is a gasket already pre-cut for this? If not, perhaps a suggestion about what type of material from which to fabricate a good gasket and where I might get it from?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, FTR, I just made my annual donation to VAF for 2022! I'm in good standing!
 
That was my next option...

Luckily, I can get the actual gasket, FM150 from Airflow Performance which was sent from another gentleman.

Thank you for the response never-the-less and Merry Christmas!

You can also just cut one out of gasket paper.
