Vacuum Piston Skirt has tear, am I boned?

Hey guys, I was taking apart the carbs today and saw that one of the vacuum piston skirts (the rubber material around the piston) has a tear in it. Am I boned? I can't seem to find a place that will ship me a new Vacuum Piston, or if the Vacuum Piston assembly actually has the rubber skirt. (Part number 14 in the parts fiche)

Would I be able to patch it?

Thanks guys.

EDIT: Will these fit my carbs?

Depending on the size it should be repairable. I had a small hole in one of the diaphrams on my xs400, about the size a tack or small nail might make and I used a little bit of gas resistant sealant. I didnt use much and the sealant is slightly flexible so it didnt affect the diaphram's performance. There is also a rubberized gas resistant spray you can get. I think it is the same rubberized spray stuff you can get in a large can at walmart for like $4 that is used for lining truck beds and sound deadening but I'm not sure. If you google'd carb diaphram repair you would probably find something useful.

 

Motorcyclecarbs Carburetors, Carburetor Parts and Carburetor Restoration has started carrying replacement diagphrams. The're in Marietta, GA. I've ordered jets from them before, they ship promptly if in stock, and are good about communications.

 

They have a website?

Thanks
