Is there such a thing....

I don't see the problem. You are not supposed to "wrench down" the carb.

Read, understood, and known.

...what you "get" from the parts stores these days, if it's the thin ones, are really shitty.

Which was and is my point...which is why I asked the question.

I've seen the 'superformance' catalog and found a place that sells their PN4154. The layout of the piece is poor.

I bought a couple of Mr. Gasket 55's. Description:

Carburetor Mounting Gasket, Cellulose/Nitrile Composition, 4-Barrel, Square Bore, 4-Hole, .063 in. Thick

NOT paper, NOT .040", hopefully NOT shitty.

I did not spend $60 on a Holley branded part and expect to have to replace some included pieces because they were crummy. The studs that came with it aren't any good, either.
