I agree; the price for these cheesy little bits and pieces is absurd; although they are typically included in the carb-kits.
Actually….for the "boss gaskets" or high-speed nozzle gaskets….it’s pretty simple to just knock out your own from cork gasket material sourced from an auto parts store. I use this hollow punch set from Harbor Freight:

The other thing that annoys me is the price charged for the aluminum expansion plugs. Rather than pay $5.49 from Marine Engine for OMC part #0202310

Why not buy 10 of them here for $4.95?

The other reason for searching out alternatives is that; lets face it…..lots of the parts we typically rely on finding easily now…..will some day in the near future be NLA….
