Hmm, well I have two of them in storage in upstate.

If you can wait until after 2/27 (which is the next trip up there) we can get you mine.

They are just little closed cell foam washers, nothing special.

let me know.

Probably they are some kind of foam composition very simple just a circle with a circle in the middle. Maybe cut them from a plastic sponge

Yes, I agree George,

They apparently are there to keep in the grease and keep out the road dirt, but they are not a tight fit.

You could certainly make one that would work.

I hope that helps.

I just bought these from Pelican two weeks ago, had them in my hands 2 days after purchase. They have them in stock, cheap.
