This is a spark plug tool from a 911 -914-6 tool kit. It’s missing the rubber insert. Anyone know where to source the insert?

Do you need the 'official' insert? Mine has a slightly different spark plug tool, not sure where it is from. But I think it is more of a sponge rubber type.
Maybe buy a cheap plug socket from your FLAPs and take the insert out? |

I usually just chop a piece of the boot off an old spark plug wire and shove it in there (hard boots obviously don't work) |

Of course I don’t have extra wires at the moment but I will look for one. |
