HI 

earlier this year some one stole the vent assembly off the side of our 87 westy on the street here in Venice 

some kind soul in Seattle on this list was great he sent me the metal parts misplaced his name  ( blaming the memory thing on the hospitalization this year )

any way I need the rubber part also  called Go Westy  they say there is no source for the rubber ring part  Looked on other parts sites like Van Caffe also 

so does any one have an extra  if not...... can I find a good one to use to  make a mold to cast a new rubber one ????

or has some one already done this ??

NOt too sure how helpful this will be, Ed, but in spite of having a used rubber seal on hand, I also gooped black silicone sealer/glue on it (both sides)
when I reinstalled a new fixture (IIRC it was the water filler one), then took the other 2 off, cleaned them up and did the same with reinstalling them.
I was just looking for a very waterproof seal and this has worked for a few years now.
I think I would go to a hardware/hobby store and find sheets of about 1/8" thick rubber and make my own anyway.
