You could try reinforced rubber washers. They are sometimes available in 
NL in  a cloth reinforced variety. If you have an old piece of leather 
you could cut washers out of that as well but soak them in light oil 
first. The orange brown fibre washers are available at most hardware or 
plumbers shop, these also need to be soaked in light oil.
