My original 1946 C140 Imperial Brass fuel primer leaks. Feedback on replacing the leather plungers (if available or if they can be made successfully) versus updating to a modern o-ring style primer would be appreciated.

I made one from the leather of an old wallet. Don't ask me any questions, though, as it was about 35 years ago. Still works, though!

I will look into making plungers. Thank you.

Not sure if this is the same primer you have, but here is a Youtube video on making the leather seals for an Imperial fuel primer in a Stinson..https://youtu.be/DshwmMKmTj8?si=DCp-qTvPDFTyUbDG
