I'm thinking an aluminum frame with a rabbet on the inside to trap and slightly compress an elastomer seal. O-Ring cord stock is available in a square cross section so that would be my first choice if I could find something in a lower durometer that is oil resistant. There are also Buna-N foams available in strip form that might be good candidates.

Tom,

McMaster has a bunch of types of rubber and foam.

Thanks Ed.

MC and I are on a first name basis. They even send me catalogs at home.

They are a bit pricey, but they literally have everything and can get it in your hands the next day at no extra charge.
