Default collector gasket

Anyone know what I need for a gasket for the collectors on Martins 3 bolt flange headers?
I had to replace my leaky header gaskets and had to unbolt the collectors to have some wiggle room to line things up. My local parts shop had 2 1/2” , but the flange holes don’t line up.

I used Mr. Gasket part number 5980. It is a 2.5" gasket however...

Thanks guys. It was the 3 1/2" bolt circle I was missing. I was able to cross reference to a Felpro #2014 that my parts store can have for me tomorrow.
