      I am looking for a supplier for 3/8″ x 3/8″ gasket material for the very old ports on my 424.
      Don’t know what manufacturer made them as there are no marks. They are aluminum, with the glass seald in by a sandwich construction, The channel for the gasket looks to have been machined in and is square. Any ideas? I took them apart this winter and glass bead blasted them and rebeaded the glass – came out pretty good.
      Any ideas?

      The hatches were made by Bomar, who recently stopped producing the gaskets for them.  I purchased 3/8 x 3/8 rubber from McMaster Carr and used that.

      I tried to get it from Defender last year and they said they weren't going to carry it anymore – they had like 2' left. 

      Good luck!

      I have since learned the material was likely “viton” a dupont product.
      It is available as “cordage” in 3/8″x3/8″ from many rubber products distributors.
      I have ordered 10ft from “rainbow rubber” – will see if it is the right stuff.
      Thanks all for the resources and leads –

      I’d like to replace the gaskets in my ports too. Please let me know if it fits and please send a link if you have one.

      regards
