My experience has been that old black crumbly stuff on old Triumphs is in
fact rubber that has weathered.
Being an inveterate utilitarian, I can't answer for the purists who must put
exactly the correct piece in place. If you're like me and would be satisfied
with rubber rings, then go to your favorite outlet for plain old o-rings and
buy them cheap (do we dare mention Harbor Freight?).
