    Oh... also I'm checking with some folks at a special effects place about casting rubber parts.. they know a lot about that so they may have a simplified method you could use to one off a replacement for your part.

    You can't really see in the photo, but the rubber piece I am holding is in pretty rough shape, the other one disintegrated completely. I don't think I could use it as a pattern. I am encouraged that other models seem to be similar. I think that is where I will be able to get parts.

    That's one of the pair of spacers that go on the back filler casting, right?

    Blakes use a different shape for that part; but it looks as if Wilcox-Crittenden may be your best bet.
