The seals for the 2 are the same part numbers as found in the 4Ti. The foam
the
Olympus Guy sells might be a different type and you may have to cut it yourself
(someone jump in here if they know better).
You can do the seals yourself, just make sure you clean all the old foam out
(check the slot with a loupe and you'll see how much stuff you left behind.)
