Email them that picture and they will lead you in the right direction.

They are great people to deal with and have helped a lot of us out.

You could always trim the end off of one of these as Commando1 has suggested in the past. Swimming pool noodle.

You don't really need these as they just prevent rust from forming between the plate and the hub it's attached to. A light smear of silicon will do the same thing or if you're a bit paranoid, buy a piece of gasket material and make your own.

I made mine from backing material that came with some electrical apparatus. Radios, TVs, amplifiers and such are usually wrapped with white thin foam material which is just perfect for those gaskets

Did the same with shipping foam. Traced the old and cut them out.
As mentioned earlier DMT would probably have them a (look the same as my 68). But understand the hassle of shipping overseas.

I have hand carried a few car parts to the Czech Republic for colleague of mine due to the pain of shipping.
