Chas, just use a knife to pry the cap off the check valve and replace the membrane with a ~3/8" diameter plastic disc. Be careful to not loose the spring and plunger that is inside the valve when you pop its top off.
I used a 3/8" hole punch to cut membranes out of a plastic drop cloth (cover used when painting), but another reader successfully used the plastic of a view graph. I rebuilt my check valves about three years ago, and they have worked just fine every since.
