Sure, if you are confidence.

Don't think Pentax have these parts for such old camera, but no harm to ask 
them. However, you can use velvet straps which will outlast and form. This 
is especially true in humid areas.

>(The rubber on the front side above the mirror needs a replacement, too, I 
>think.)

If Pentax don't have the form for ME, you might ask them to check if other 
forms with the same thickness (3mm I think). I used the rectangular form 
from the P50 film back to replace the mirror form on my MX and it works 
fine. Of course, I did some cutting to make sure it fits.
