[GreenKeys] Model 14 Reperf

[Richard Knoppow]

    I don't know what these look like but if its a flat rubber 
part you may be able to small flat rubber sheets in the plumbing 
supply stuff at a hardware store. Moderately thick, maybe 1/8th 
inch. Might be easier to cut one from the sheet than to carve one 
from a rubber stopper.
