Since nobody has responded to you I will take a crack at it. A good reference for sac sizes is here (http://www.richardspens.com/?rep=sacs). It recommends a #16 but I always check in anyway to make sure it fits properly.

The sections on these Taperites can be impossible to remove, as I understand it, the factory used adhesive and some pro restorers do not work on them. I have a few in my possession that were found in-the-wild. One of the three I succeeded in removing the section only to have the barrel crack upon reinsertion (even with heat). The other two resisted all efforts, one seemed to have a intact sac so I left it, the other is still in the parts bin.
