I need the cylindrical type that are solid rubber not the flat ones. I believe the meltrope 3 uses them.

Dear Jake,

For gaskets and rubber tubing etc. try Ken Priestley. He is based in West Yorkshire and trades as "Holmfirth Antiques". You can find him on the internet by searching for Holmfirth Antiques which brings up his web site. He's very helpful and an extremely good repair man so he should be able to point you in the right direction.

All the best
