I did mine years ago and used some 1/8" thick red silicone gasket material that was soft and pliable.

I drilled out the rivets and replaced them with screws and nylock nuts. I used the old gaskets to get close on the cutout for the gasket material. It was more about time than cost. The cost was like $15 for the material, then I had to cut out the patterns and drill the rivets and bolt it all back together. Probably a couple hours for both, taking my time.
