I want to cut out some gaskets and thought I would have a go at making
a rule die.
Where do I get rule from?

Do a google (uk only) for "steel rule".If you only need a few gaskets
might be cheaper to get them lasered or water jet cut.

A dozen or more years ago I bought steel rule from my local printe
supplier in the USA. Printers often make steel rule dies for cardboar
cutouts for signs and small cardboard boxes that are being made i
moderate quanities.

My supplier hade a large variety in stock that were in different width
and with both single side bevel and double side bevel for the cuttin
edge. They sold by the length as printers normally bought only enoug
for the job at hand. Lengths varied by type but were most often about
meter long
