Question for techs- advice needed fixing 1911 Buffet.

Hi,
I need help in restoring a 1911 Buffet (in A).
It has a "doughnut" key cup on the upper joint. There was a cork pad there but it did not seal well.
I probably can make a cork pad (OD16mm, ID 7mm), but wonder if I could use a flute pad or use a Valentino pad as a starting point.
Maybe take a 16mm Valentino pad and make a 7mm hole in it?

Thank you.
