later engines like yours had rubber ,earlier cork ,nothing wrong with either
 
Cork is old school. Yours will have rubber with metal stiffeners. I found the biggest problem is tightening them. It's a 12 point socket with a narrow wall. I just hacksaw a groove across then use a screwdriver. They don't need much oomph on em.
