I recently purchased a second hand pump from a trader here with the intention of buying a seal kit to replace the originals. I subsequently found that the company who had the seals don't have one for my specifc model. The one i thought they had turned out to be for the rack not the pump.

So i am now looking to buy some gasket sheeting and make my own, plus some suitable o rings etc.

Can anyone suggest the best material to handle the pressure, the fluid, and the thickness.

The original one between the 2 body halves appears to be a rubber type rather than paper. The o rings, do they need to be neoprene or viton?
