Need Case Model #5120 Toilet Gasket #6 (ca. 1930)

Author: pauliversen (OH)

I have a Case Old-Style one-piece, "kidney style" toilet with front lever, specifically model #5120, made around 1930. The gasket (#6) under the flush valve is shot and I believe it's leaking through here into the bowl (I used dye to confirm it was leaking into the bowl), and then the water turns on and it fills up a bit and stops, and then a half hour later or so after some water leaks out again, the water kicks on again...thus there is a constant waste of water.

I can't find the gasket #6 online, and the one plumbing store in my area that carries old parts such as these doesn't have it. I also called Briggs, and they don't have parts for this model anymore. I see that Gasket #4 for Case model #5129 is still available, but I need Gasket #6 for Case model #5120. Any ideas were I could find one?

If not, is it possible to make a work around?

Author: pauliversen (OH) plumbingsupply.com has only the #5129 flush valve with #4 Gasket. I need Gasket #6 for model #5120. My flush valve is solid I think, I just need the gasket underneath, which appears to have completely disintegrated (I have the same toilet in another bathroom and I can see the gasket on that one).
