At some time, unbeknown to me, a bottle of turps was spilled onto the top of our camping beer fridge while it was stored in the garage. I obviously cleaned it up when found, but, the turps has impregnated the seal, consequently, anything now stored in the fridge comes out with a whiff of turps  . I contacted the manufacturer for help, only to be told that they don't supply the seal, nor do they now sell a replacement lid for it. 
I've had a Google, & the best I can find is a stick on seal of similar dimensions to the D section ie about 1/4" tall
Any suggestion anyone?

I use Baines for rubber seals (both commercial an domestic), have a look and see if they have anything close (when printed on A4 the drawings are actual size)

IRS 1757EP looks like a reasonable bet, size depending..

I think you might very well be right .....      I hadn't got as far as the down loaded catalogue & was looking at the bit above.

I had a slack five minutes so thought I'd scroll through the catalogue for you

Try to pick a 'stock' one

I will. I'll phone them and ask what they have in stock.

I was looking for rubber seals a while back to fix a leaking window, and found a couple of companies selling them on ebay.  For £1 they will send out a load of samples.

I'd imagine they're pretty much the same?    I didn't use them in the end so can't comment on the service, but might be an idea...
