How's it going today? I know these aren't exactly valuable machines but for some reason I love the styling of those slow grey Echos. I grabbed a CS440 for nearly free that was missing the oiler, clutch and drum (engine only needed a carb clean/kit and a new fuel line) and have been able to scavenge most of the parts I need, but not having luck finding the plate seal, 17531038330, this little guy.

Seems like it's a cheap part, except for the $22 shipping (almost $40 total in the pretend money up here).... and unfortunately I can't find any busted saws available near me that I could strip that part from, so for the purpose of fabricating my own (unless someone wouldn't mind slapping one in an envelope and sending it up to Canada for a few bucks), would someone be willing to take a few measurements and let me know if this is a metal seal or paper gasket?
