[SEL] OT Water pump leathers for the piston

[Lew Best]

I needed a similar cup for an OLD forklift cylinder; took it to a saddle
shop & found a scrap of leather about the right thickness & made one.
Worked great; I think he charged me a buck or so for the leather scrap

Morning group,
I have an old piston type water pump that I want to restore and drive it
with my Sattley engine. 
I need the piston packing or leathers or cups or rings or what ever one
would call them. The leather is in the shape of a dish with a hole in the
middle where the rod goes. The dia is roughly 1". My question is, Where can
I find them?
