I have one here that is 12mm thick. I suspect it is compressed to 11mm. It may be less.
There is a lip in one end of the bore (i.d.) measuring about 29mm, however the rest of the bore is approximately 31mm. i.d.
The lip is approximately 1mm wide.
It has a Patent no. (pat. no.) 360168 moulded into the side.
The o.d. is about 49.5mm but is scalloped (sp?) in the center (about 46.5mm. o.d. at center)
I'd ignore the lip and the scollap and as Andrew said have some cut from a piece of Nitrile (11mm is about the same as 7/16")
I had a box of NOS Aussie ones. If you dropped them on the floor they would break like glass.
When you install the shaft and collar, you will compress the two seals to get the bolt through. It would be good to do this with the bogie arm pointing at its normal working angle.
I hope that helps.
