Help with Spitfire 4 HS2s

Help! :-)
 
Anyone know if I can easily obtain an "off the shelf" (i.e., local hardware  
store) substitute for the o-ring or rubber gasket (or whatever it is) under 
the  nut on the pipe from the jet to the float bowl? If so, what?
 
This is for a Spitfire 4 with SU HS2s. It was running  beautifully, but I 
noticed very slow drip of fuel from the nut. Tightening it  carefully seemed to 
stop the drip, but it also seems to have pretty much closed  off the supply of 
fuel to the jet. Not good.
 
I really don't want to buy an entire rebuild kit for one little tiny bit.  So 
any advice is appreciated!

*Man: Well, no ... It's not so  much of a jet, it's more your, er,
Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
