fitting carbs

I just bought some PWK carbs for my Bonneville. Only problem is when i tried to fit them on there is a gap of about 1/4" or a little less between the carb and the carb flange. Whats the deal with that? What can I use for a gasket that thick?

Carb insulator blocks. Really fat gaskets. They are closer to 3/16" thick.
