Tailgate hinge gasket

Hello,

When removing my tailgate there was a 'gasket' between the hinge and body which disintegrated, are these available anywhere or can I get away with making something out of rubber?

Thanks.

dont use rubber, make one out of gasket paper if you have any , thin shed roof felt would do just dont use a non waterproof material like card, many vans dont have them but  if your really concerned pm me an addy and i can make a few and pop in the post, foc
