Dimensions of Rockshox Quadra 21R elastomers

Anyone happen to know the height and diameter of the elastomers in the old Rockshox Quadra 21R forks?
I think I will give the 3D print a try to turn the forks rigid.

Haven't opened mine up yet (ever) but I suspect they have disintegrated into dust/mush.

I hope the plastic hasn't turned completely brittle and will snap upon disassembly. That's happened to me when I worked on a friend's old 90s bike. The knob on this fork (other make and model) snapped right off with a light turn.

How about a new set of elastomers?

Or perhaps replacement springs instead:

The SFP replacement elastomers will actually last longer than the originals too.

The intact one is just under 20mm OD and just under 28mm height.
