i to can not find any i have found 50-51mm but no 52?
i ended up importing some ready cut from a chap on eaby in the US.

im watching some on ebay for about £6.74 but its the p+p which will be the expensive part, i will have to ask some of the plumbers around here if they can get any.

if you can only find 51 just put it in boiling water so it will expand then strtch it over the rim

i could only get 50mm abs.....it was about 3mm thick too......so i carefully sanded the rim of the wheel to get them to fit...the a drop of glue on the back to hold them.....i had tried the boiling water approach but it was not workingwell...infact not at all..
