Forget Motorsport!
I rely on Motorsport and Victoria British on some things but they are really price gouging the consumers. It is ridiculous how much they are charging for small stuff!! (Can't really blame them as they are a business and need the profit).
But most things can be fabricated. I also have the same problem and will find out what I can do with this rubber seal..
