Replacement Gasket for Bronze Ports

jek · #1 (**permalink**) 04-21-2005

Does anyone know of a place to get replacement rubber for bronze ports (5 x 8)? The original material is 1/2 square rubber and has hardened over time. Trimlok has what I need, however will only sell the material in quantities of 500''. They also do not have any distributors who stock the item for resale.

Try newfound metals for your gasket material since they make the portlights they might just have the gaskets for them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked at New Found Metals before however they didn''t carry the same port as the one on my Pacific Seacraft. I did follow up with a call to see what they used for their ports and they pointed me to McMaster-Carr. It appears they have what I need and will be a good source for other hard to find supplies.
