When I went through mine I got a new one from Doug. I would reach out to Carl who has the parts business now. I am sure be has one. If not you cut one from any suitable material for AV gas. I put a photo of my old one as I removed it from the tank. You can download it and blow it up to see the thickness. It is pretty thick.
