I'm currently refurbishing a KDS-16 Superba, completely, from top to bottom. There is a gasket which goes between the motor mounting plate and the surface of the tub which also has two larger holes that go around the heating element terminals. It's 34 on the diagram below, part number R-101230. I don't see any record for that number online so I'm going to assume it's been unavailable for a very long time without a donor machine.
I'm putting it into CAD, and planning to get it made as a one-off in either silicone or EPDM. It's a bevel seated gasket with a lip to hold the mounting plate that I can tell was molded when it was made, so it's not a flat sheet gasket and thus a bit of a challenge to reproduce. I was wondering if anyone else on here had any recommendations for fabricators for this kind of thing, especially any with no/low minimum quantities. I see on Xometry it would cost about $200-400 for one in silicone, but I want to weigh my options.
If someone, by some chance, has a NOS one laying around, I would also be glad to purchase it as well. Appreciate any leads. I don't really want to clean and set this with silicone, I want to find a more longterm solution given this part is already nearly 60 years old.
