Accelerator pumps are made of leather on older carbs, and I have seen synthetic rubber on other newer models. Regarding the gaskes for the tank sending units, I typically stay with cork about 1mm thick, which is closest to original issue.

The new Performers use a synthetic rubber accel. pump but I am not sure if they are interchangeable with an old AFB. The leather seems to work fine for me, oil it before installing it and stretch it out a little tho
yes and I don't have one handy to look at but fairly thick, 3/16" maybe?
