    Source for "ceramic" insulation for Dunkirk boiler?

    I have a PWB8-D Dunkirk boiler and during my cleaning I noticed that the "ceramic"(appears) felt gasket between the iron sections and sheet metal hood is severely deteriorated.  It appears to just be four individual inch wide by about 1/4" think strips of insulation laid atop the cast iron sections.

    Is there a source for the manufacturers gasket or an appropriate aftermarket source for the material?

    Thanks,
    Al
