Repairing a Bread Machine?

Repairing a Bread Machine -shaft showing missing part locationMy bread maker, a Breville BBM100, has destroyed part of its pan seal kit - a tiny washer that would fit on the end of my pinky finger. No spares are available. I've searched and now found there were never spares for this model, which they still make. Do you have any ideas about something I could use to improvise a repair? I've tried local suppliers of nut and bolts, etc. to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The little slot half way along the shaft in my photo is where the missing part goes, then the whole thing slides into the base of the bread pan. The end with the little arms slots into the drive mechanism and the bread paddle fits on the other end inside the pan. So my photo shows the shaft upside down. Cheers.

Same model (BBM100) with same issue, however the seal only wrecked because I attempted to remove the shaft - why? - because the thing was almost seized - would only turn if gripped by wrench. I had to drive out the shaft from the outside towards inside with hammer & drift (having removed the circlip & washers first), there was a lot of resistance & when it did move bits of the shredded seal fell out after.

After cleaning up, dressing with file, I used a standard nitrile "O" Ring fitted into the groove in your photo. Didn't really want to use any of my "garage" potions to lubricate the thing (WD40 probably not very tasty) so in the end used some powdered graphite lubricant (as sold for locks) - not expecting miracles but testing it now on a new loaf!
