If you have a new one, why are you replacing the cork?

So I am looking for ideas about replacing that cork gasket.  It doesn't look like I can take the metal piece apart, so do I just take a razor and cut away the cork and cut a new piece of cork to fit?  Also, this spring loaded metal piece was held in to the cap with four rivets.  Should I just use self-tapping screws on the new cap?
