28mm are the correct size, you just need the early ones.

I think, this is your problem:

The upper seal is a old version Judy (or Specialized FSX in this case)
The lower seal is the 97 and later seal that you seem to have sourced.
The bothe are 28mm inside diameter. But the OD is different.

So you either find the old version seal. OR you leave the old seals in for cosmetic reason.

You can put additional (standard size) seals underneath the old ones, like so:

(Size is metric)

Wouldn't do that. I'd still use the standard 28x35x5mm seals. Pressed in so they flush with the upper surface of the casting. Won't be possible to mount the rubber protection tubes but those are ugly anyway

Or pop an add in the wanted section. Maybe someone has a pair of old wipers sitting a a drawer...

What you could try thou, is: Remove the rubber off of the new seals to reduce the OD. Maybe they will fit then? Just a thought.

If you remove the all the rubber down to the metal body of the seal, you could then use a thin layer of silicone sealant to hold them in place (oil the metal surface inside the castings so you will be able to remove them later...)
Maby it would be a good idea to leave some 2mm of rubber standing at the upper edge. Because the seals are not pressed in entirely. There has to be a gap between the seal and the casting. The rubber protection tube will slot in there. (I hope this is understandable. I am lacking the correct words here..)
