I have a 232 with an oil bath breather .Looking for inner rubber gasket for it.I would convert to new air filter but this breather is in great shape with labels .Just thought I would ask the experts Thanks guys

You mean air filter? IMO they are fine. If I could fix the seals, I'd wash the whole thing in solvent and add fresh oil. Usual procedure in the old days was to use some of the old engine oil for the air filter at oil change time. Clean enough for wetting the filter mesh.

The CJ guys with Jeeps from the era prize theirs. The stickers/decals are reproduced to make the filter look like new.

I was looking for the rubber gasket inside the oil bath breather .PO had blue silicone insted of rubber gasket that service manual shows.I hate to gut breather and put new style air filter in it . Thanks

What do you mean, oil bath breather? The air cleaner or air filter is not a breather, and the crankcase breather does not have an oil bath.

This is the air cleaner or air filter - not a breather

and this is the crankcase breather, aka filler cap

The seal inside the air cleaner 4.088-9 is Jeep PN 941082. No longer available as a Jeep part from Jeep or the aftermarket - I would look for an o-ring the right diameter to fit there. McMaster-Carr sells many sizes of o-rings https://www.mcmaster.com/products/o-rings/o-rings-1~/ or you could buy o-ring cord stock and make your own https://www.mcmaster.com/products/o-rin ... rd-stock~/
