The rubber gasket for the Meltrope should be 3,2mm diameter. The regular available (white) gaskets are 3.0mm diameter. Proper replacement is available from a gentleman in Sweden via ebay.

Teak, thanks for the info. I must remake the gaskets, as they seem too short to me. But in case I need more tubing, I will ask you for the address in Sweden. I must also try local medical supplies shop to see what kind of rubber tubing is available.
