Pajero throttle body gasket - parts compatibility?

I'm helping my dad with his '98 3.5L V6 Pajero and we're trying to replace the throttle body gasket. Issue is: we can't figure out what (if any) Montero/US equivalent part it actually is. He bought a gasket for a '98 Montero V6 and it soooort of works, but not ideally so.

  1. The bolt holes line up, but the hole for the throttle body --> intake manifold is too small on the gasket. In some orientations there would be a gap between the gasket and the TB --> IM opening. We could trim it to open it up, yeah.

  2. The external dimensions are not the same, but there is a configuration that seems like it will work without leaving any gaps.

  3. It is not metal like the OEM one.

Anyone have any idea if there is a US-equivalent part that would work? I can't find anything when googling. Pics for comparison of the two gaskets.

HKParts - Fedex shipping only?

I'm trying to put together/buy a replacement mag catch/release set for my AP5, and it seems like HKP is the only place that has all the bits required. But....shipping is fucking $45 for Fedex 2-day, and that's the cheap option. I know they can be overpriced, but that's just absurd.

Unfortuantely RTG doesn't have the paddle or catch contact piece (at all) or mag catch spring (in stock). Seems I can sort of piece together some of the other bits from multiple stores, but then multiple shipping adds up. Anyone have any other source?
