I didn't see that, but it was the first hit I got on a Google search

the UK and they must get their supplies from somewhere.


Thanks for taking the trouble to look. In the meanwhile I have ordered a
sheet of 0.5mm PTFE, the adhesive PTFE covered fibre glass tape and some
exhaust paint. The PTFE won't be here till June and I hope the new motor
will be fitted by then, so I will do a repair at my leisure.

Full marks for considering a fairly out of the normal repair. That's one
job I have never done myself (although having seen from YouTube how it
is done, I realise it is not quite so daunting as it appeared when I was
a cash-strapped youth).
