GRS Searchlight Signals need some help.

I am restoring some Searchlight signals from an old L&N mainline I acquired. I have been angle grinder sanding the paint off as I do not have a sand blaster and repainting them. I have also been trying to replace seals on them but I need help with the back door seal. They had rope seals but most of them broke so I have to replace them but I need bigger seals and was wondering if anyone else has replaced them. I will post pictures later.

The top pic is the old rope wax gasket I am replacing. the other photos are the places the seal goes. any Suggestions? sorry for the late photos.
 
Have you tried contacting a gasket company for your replacements? They may have some suitable material you could use for a replacement.

I have, but some are pretty expensive. I guess I could do that but I have 5 signals that all need new gaskets so $$$$.
