The counter rubber is round so o ring might work. Gotta be a mighty big one though. The flywheel one is flat about 5mm high and ~ 1mm thick

Some O ring suppliers will custom make. The only question would be the strength of the join.

O ring kit. We used to make our own, you get the length of rubber you cut to size and glue with CA
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
