I'm sure AEV would send you one free. Mine's not dry rotted yet but its only been on there for 8 months or so. Give them a call, I'm sure they'll hook ya up.

What we did in the army for seals that dried up before we replaced them was to use chapstick. Rehydrated the seal and made it usable until replaced.
