Front pipe-cat exhaust gasket and bolts

The donut-shaped gasket between the front/header pipe on my '93 900S has gone missing and the increased noise has become a problem so I want to restore the Saab purr. The diagnosis was provided by a mechanic at a general repair shop so I haven't yet crawled beneath to confirm but, based on the noise source, it's almost certainly true.
I'm placing an order from an e-sponsor this evening for a r-rear brake caliper and antenna mast replacement and could throw the donut gasket onto the order but the e-sponsor diagram doesn't look right to me (http://www.eeuroparts.com/Cars/SAAB/1034/1993-900-S-2-1L-4-Cyl-16-Valve/1015/Exhaust-System/ ). Specifically, the diagram shows a large locking nut on the down-pipe that presumably engages the cat converter to seal the joint. However, I'm pretty sure that mine has a three (or four) bolt collar as per Bentley (252-2).
So my questions are
(1) What are the dimensions of the "right" front pipe-cat exhaust gasket?
(2) what are the nut/bolt dimensions at that junction (living in Wisconsin I always approach exhaust repair with cutting tool in hand)?
Thanks in advance, Scott
