I'm looking for an inkwell insert to match one that I have. Here is a picture of what I need:

The approximate dimensions are 23mm across top (including lip), 18mm wide below lip, overall height 22mm. I was able to find the one in the picture at a recent pen show but the vendor only had one. If anybody has another like this for sale, please drop me a note.

This may not help your specific situation but I have had success using a variety of plumbing caps from the hardware store to replace missing inkwell inserts. With some inkwells I have had to use an O-ring on top of the cap to hold it in place. They have all been functionally successful.

Someone at the show suggested using the caps off of liquid margarine squeeze bottles but being a vintage inkwell, I'd prefer to get something that more closely resembled the original inserts so it'll be more of a complete item. I don't plan on actually putting ink in them but thanks for the suggestion.
