the wanderlodge gange went through this years ago and had some custom made. but they had far fewer seal sizes.
the reason they did was not the cost, but that the corners wrinkled like ours do. they had some made that were radiused to avoid that.
i am not one to shy away from a challenge, but i think this is just a buy the newell seal and not spend the effort looking elsewhere.
i talked to the supplier years ago for our seals as i said before and they make them only for newell. and to do them for us would be cost prohibitive.
btw, for a short time, newell used these same seals on the valid slides, then moved to the valid seal which if you buy it from valid is a lot cheaper than the ones we have on the hwh slides.
