it measures 3/32 while the old seal measures 1/8. From the feels point of view, the old ones seems to seat pretty firmly on both sides while the new one seems to float and shift in place when handled. If it were'nt for the lost elasticity and thinned out flange, I would've reused the old ones. I am, going to Bill & Steve's for a visual on what they got. the fellow on the phone told me they have 4 different ones!!
will let you know.
thanks
