I HIGHLY doubt anyone other than Mazda will have this gasket.

The link you posted, Barry, is for the intake manifold gasket that goes between the cylinder head and the intake manifold.... which is NOT the gasket he is referring to.

On the BP, the intake manifold splits into two pieces--a top and a bottom. The gasket he is referring to is the gasket that goes between the two halves of the intake manifold.

See pic of mine when I had it apart for my first BP swap:

Also, See the Scan I just made of the Shop Manual:

Why do you need another one? Is your broken? Unless it is damaged, you can re-use it.

Felpro makes a kit that includes both intake manifold and plenum gasket.

Dont ask me for part #, but I guess any good parts supplier can tell you this info.
