Hi guys.
The gasket on my hopper lid is all mangled. Does anyone know the size rope gasket I need to replace it? Also what gasket adhesive do you guys recommend? Any instillation tips you have like how to handle where the free ends come together would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Older 503 no damper rod...
I think it was 3/4" I used...
WaterGlass adhesive...

Butted the ends nice...
Compressed the gasket, don't stretch it out...
Trimmed the strands that were loose at the butt joint...
Splased a bit of the adhesive at the butt ends to glue them together...
Not too much or it makes a solid lump that won't seal right...
