source for large diameter rubberized cork

I am having difficulty locating unbored rubberized cork rings at 1 3/8" - 1 1/2" diameter, 0.5" wide. Everything I am finding is bored and/or too small. Most places seem to carry the 1 1/4" stuff.

I'd appreciate a solid lead - only 10-20 pieces are needed.

I bought some years ago from a site sponsor. I am looking again, now, and having trouble finding them. Thanks for the reply.

I make all my own rubberized cork rings by using rubberized sheet gasket material. Although it takes a little more work, I have the flexibility to make whatever OD and thickness ring I want. Just cut out the circles and glue together. I use a sharpened piece of pipe to make the circles.

Steve,
Guess they changed recently at Angler's My last batch was still 1 /38 for rubberized, everythingn else has always been 1 1/4 inch. They had the 1 3/8 rubberized to match the big dia STBG8 preformed cork grip they sell I was told before.
