Apart from the cork gaskets are there still the re-usable rubber ones available?

Not that I know.....I made one from a piece of conveyor belt I 'made use of' from work. Pretty thick stuff and it works well.

I glue the std cork one to the rocker cover and coat the bottom with a smear of grease - can re-use a few times for rocker adjustments etc.

be careful with the replacement ones, i bought one and its over an inch short. a bit of heat might have been able to stretch it but i was impatient and it broke

As my remember it, my father in the old days when I was a just a little kid,
use to soak cork gaskets in water when they were too small, but the picture
is quite fuzzy.
