I believe the company selling Curtis D-seals in lot of 100 is TrimCraft.

Curtis will not sell the seals. They know that about the time the seal
goes the riveted retainer pops off and lets everything drain out. You
can buy the D-seals in 100 lots at $3.75 each or $375 but not from
Curtis.

You can replace it with new for less than $15 You can get a steel quick
drain for the same money that has a replaceable o-ring seal and there is
no brass to work harden and crack off.
