5mm ID x 2mm cross section works for me.  You might also want to go to the hardware store and get a slightly strogner spring for the diaphragm/

Yep, worked on my '85.  My local ACE hardware store had the metric o-ring and a replacement spring that was too long, but I cut it down to a length slightly longer than stock.
