I have a large old petrol blowtorch that needs a new leather washer to replace the old one, what type and thickness of leather would I need? The pumping plunger is about 1" diameter.
Last time I had to fix the blow by issue when pumping it up, I accidentally put the large washer in backwards, and the punched out sharp edge then cut the leather. I have tried a few times with leather from old shoes, but still cannot get it to pump up properly.
Anyone used to repairing these old things?
