Fuel pump spacer + gaskets

I need a new fuel pump spacer block - certain triumph spares sellers are selling what looks like a nylon spacer block where my old one looks like its made of asbestos (red) in colour - has anybody fitted a nylon spacer block and encounted any issues with it.
Also the gasket - some sellers gaskets look like paper rather than proper gasket material, I have found another supplier who gasket is the same material (well looks like it) as the gasket for the inlet manifold but it called a blanking off gasket. I prefer the blanking off gasket as the appeture is bigger to allow oil to get to the pump mechanism + the gasket material is thicker.
Would like your thoughts.
