Even though I get 1/32" as about .031", are you keeping in mind that it crushes when you tighten the parts together? I mean, if you mic out your old gasket as .012", that’s not what it was when it was new….This may be a stupid question; but I had to ask, just in case you didn’t think of it…
As for splitting, a rule I made for myself is to always punch the holes first, then cut. It keeps the material from splitting when you punch too close to an edge.
Long live American manufacturing!
