For applications such as this one where it's mostly just a dust seal or very low volumn/pressure grease then felt can be used. Several thin pieces stacked onto top of each other if necessary. Felt is ez to cut with siccors.

As for gasket punches look to eBay. I have a cheap chinese brand Punch and Die set that works just fine. About $25-$30 + shipping if u you're patient with eBay. My set goes from 3/4 inch down to 1/8 in 1/16 increments. It cuts lite gauge metals too. I use it alot. It's great because it has a centering feature.

I also have a cheap chinese knock off of the Whitney punch. About $11 bucks from eBay + ship. Also very useful. As with any of the import knock-offs (some things are worthless) some patience is required to use them but these two products seem to work just fine.
