Water pump impeller blades 1960 Interceptor

[Glasply]

I’ve got a 1959-1960 interceptor FE block inboard in a century resorter. The water pump uses a fixed bronze hub with two sets of impeller blades, each about an inch and an eighth square, that slide into the hub, and between the sets is a retainer clip. There’s evidence of some gasket-tack type glue in the hub and some on the impeller blades.
The blades themselves are symmetrical, with rounded ends that ride in the hub or form the wear layer against the outside of the pump. Any idea where a guy could source some of the rubber used for these blades?
Thanks

Have you thought about replacing it with a newer one?
