1960's Bluemels AFA pump seals wanted..

Sun Man 51

Dirt Disciple
Can anybody please point me in the right direction for seals to refurb my 1960's Bluemels pump ? I've looked in all the usual places, FleaBay etc, but nothing's forthcoming. I bought it when I was a lad, so I'd really like to get it working to compliment my Sun Snipe Plus bike. Its like the one in the pic below..

Many thanks in anticipation.. 👍

I make my own by using the old seal as a template .Cut round it on top off a piece of leather.
I use this sort .

eBay item number:

Thanks ever so much for that 'bagpuss'.. I appreciate it.

In the end, and quite by accident, I came across sellers on Ebay who were selling the very thing I was after for very little money. However, after writing to one of them, I had a very honest reply, saying my pump almost certainly was fitted with a soft 7/8"rubber washer, not leather. Those I've located.. a pack of ten.. so I'm fit for life.. ha ha.. :)

My pump fitting is the one in the photo below.. a rubber washer stretched over the taper should do the job I think..
