1/4 light (windwing)gaskets for Rapier

[Filister]

Hi, need the rubbers for my series 1 Rapier. Kip has them for over $500/pair. Found in England for $400. Has anybody identified a reasonable substitute than can be made to work?
I've been told that only the gaskets from 2 door audax will work, not the 4 door versions.

I got a set rubbers for my Singer from Scott’s Old Rubber in Australia. Fit well and a reasonable price.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Scott's no longer supplies this gasket.
I contacted a guy in Australia a year or so who did sell them but no longer. I got my windshield gaskets from him. I think he might be the one in Queensland.

Old auto rubber is Scott and is NLA. Thanks

Looks like the $400 pair on E-bay is the best bet. Seems like something the Rapier club in England could re-produce. I guess not enough Rapiers left to make it worthwhile...
