By one of those coincidences that we often come across,  I was given a
new packet of Graphited PTFE packing this morning, made by James
Walker and sold as 'Flougraf' packing. One of our electronics
suppliers had bought a load of surplus stuff and this unopened pack
was in the shipment.

It is 3mm (1/8") diameter, and we can cut you a piece off the roll and
post it to you if that size is OK.
