Even if it ment having to improvise making a new one.

An improvise could be foam sealant strip for door frames.

Remember that broken Arc at the AMEY depot that I stripped the stuff out of? I got the gasket from it and said "this may be useful for another lantern at some time"... I can't help but feel slightly smug at that forethought! :lol:

Lantern gaskets of that vintage would have originally been of felt. Some lanterns like the GEC Z8430 used asbestos..

The best bet is to use draught excluder as Mazeteam states. I use the "posh" version of this from RS -neoprene foam strips which is a high density foam, not cheap though.
