It is not terribly complicated but by the time you buy the material and spend time making it, the $10 plus shipping from Ultramatic Dynamicshttp://www.ultramaticdynamics.com/ or maybe a bit more from other vendors is going to even out, maybe then some, and it will be professional quality to boot. Unless you're talented with patience for details with time to spare, I would spend the money if it were mine to do.

One thing to check before installing a new gasket though is the flatness of the pan flange. Those pans seem to have a tendency to stretch where the bolts are resulting in a high area which makes contact and leaving gaps or low areas in the space between and potential leaks.
