Surely you can find red fibre washers in the size you need? I found tiny little ones to fit hub oilers - copied from one of @BigBlock's builds. And I found something off the shelf that's pretty close to my Blumfield front that's rattling around in it at the moment.
What are your washer's measurements?

Ah.
No I should have been clearer, they’re like plumbers foible (edit; fibre - but I love Plumbers’ Foible - good pub name) washers but about .5mm thick, they allow controlled slip - so EPDM, which is rubber, is the exact opposite.
I’m guessing that gasket material might work, but my experience with that is a few decades ago - hand cutting a gasket trying to re-fit the cylinder head on a mate’s Austin Ambulance.
