Default Custom Gasket making service recommendation?

I'm looking to have a gasket made, one which is no longer available. I'm looking for someone that perhaps provides custom laser cut gaskets? Normally, I would make it myself by cutting it from off-the-shelf gasket sheets, but this gasket is thick. I believe the correct thickness is 3/16" (0.1875")

Any recommendations?

Find a machine shop or fab shop that has a water jet. If you have the electronic file of the gasket design and the material to cut it from, it should be pretty inexpensive.
