Yes, it's easy enough to install a modern seal in here, but again I

can't give you details as we have different suppliers here. I fit a

new modern seal inside the old collar, wiht a bit of gasket paper

between the outside of the new seal and the inside of the original

collar to make a tight fit, but you may be able get a new seal over

there which directly replaces the old felt seal and collar.
