Bernd, after sleeping on the topic and allowing the brain neurons to work properly. I now recall that my PHLM originally had a SI/SII seal. At the time of restoration I had no knowledge of any true replacement. Thus, I used a SIII-V. The difference is the SI/II is smooth and SIII-V is ribbed.

The SI/II shown I got from Steven Alcala and the other was given to me by Steve Silverstein after I purchase the #41 Sebring Alpine.
Steve alcala produced a couple of correct SI/II screen to body seals for his sebring racer.
He made a couple and sold his spare on ebay a few years back.. If COH Baines cant provide it... He might be a good point of call...
There are enough of us that could use the seal to make them worthwhile to repro
Bernd, the 3d print solidity will depend what type of printer, material and the way it is moddled and then the optimisation for the supports for the print.Soldering on stainless I have never tried though. It seems possible with the proper flux only available from Asia. If anybody has a source I'ld be interested. Another headache with 3D is the inner portion. The result will be thicker or even solid and does not quite achieve the original hollow construction...
