Default Gasket/O Ring for MAF? Does it exist?

Guys,

You know the rubber gasket/o ring that goes between the MAF meter and the airbox?? Is this a dealer part? I just called my dealer and they said there is no part and to use silicone or something from Autozone

Surely they sell this gasket at Lexus???

I had to make a gasket, it was out of a cardboard looking gasket material that is available at the auto parts store

So you are saying it doesn't exist?? Seems like a real PITA to try and cut something out to fix the problem?

the GS300's and GS430's use 90099-14141, but for a GS400, you're SOL... if you use a very very VERY thin smear of toyota FIPG, and wipe off all the excess, i'm sure you'd be fine...

I dont know if they exist or not but if you cannot find it, the gasket material only took about 5 minutes to cut out and install and it is not visible.

My GS400 has an o-ring-like gasket. My extra MAF has a rubber gasket

Do you want to sell your spare MAF?
