John,

Are you talking about the little green seal that Moss sells?  They're the 
correct diameters (ID/OD), but thinner than 
the original-type seal.  Apparently, you can stack two of them and get a good 
seal, or maybe another supplier like BCS 
has the original type (I got a couple years ago from Healey Haven--they still 
in business?).
