AIrbox Hot Air Damper Seal 200

I pulled the airbox on a'93 240 in order to check the hot air thermostat. The thermo was OK, but I popped in a new one anyway, how long can one possibly last?

While in the airbox, I noticed the air damper seal was queefed out. Can anyone recommend a suitable, readily available material from which to carve a new one?

I know I might be able to get a seal from Volvo, but that would be at least one week away, even if all the planets fall into alignment. Also, McMaster-Carr probably has something usable hiding in their catalog, but I would like something here and now so that I do not have to suffer the PITA of buttoning it up just until the parts arrive.

Any possible sources for a gas-resistant, closed-cell foam would be appreciated.

If I can't source something locally, I might go with some 1/8" thick felt I have on hand.
