I went out looking for a replacement motor gasket or Lytherm type gasket material (Just to have on hand).
I went to four different heating supply stores, and one guy showed me the Beckett Flange Mounting gasket.
With a minimal amount of trimming, this gasket can be made to fit.
The inside diameter is smaller than the motor gasket punch out from my old gasket.
I did not have the motor off to mark and cut the bolt holes or outside diameter.
If I need to remove my motor at 0300, I can finish the gasket cutting and get the stove running.
Total Cost...$2.14 plus some time to cut out the circles and bolt holes. Maybe three minutes to cut the ID, OD and bolt holes.
I understand there are millions (Maybe billions) of Beckett burners in use, which would bring down the cost to under $2.00 per gasket. England's Stoves maybe not that many, with hopes of becoming more common than the Beckett Burners.

P.S. While I was searching, I found some leads on replacement motors, if I decide to have a spare on hand.
I'll wait until spring tear down/cleaning to get a spare motor for the shelf.
P.P.S. How is this for Irony, I was watching Extreme Cheapskates on TV while typing this out...
