Rubber pads

I am after some rubber pads to put between the fixing plates on my tank and the chassis.

Ideally 5mm x 40mm x 60mm. A dozen or so would be ideal.

I have hunted for rubber products on ebay and the net and although my mind is now broadened I cannot find anything suitable.

I had neoprene on previous cars and it eventually shrinks losing its cushioning function.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks

Jim

I've got a big roll of some 2.5mm thick rubber sheet and I can cut off a bit to suit and send to you free of charge. Send me a U2U with your name and address if you're interested.

Well as long as I've got enough for a few jobs on my car, yes. It'll only sit around in my garage. Let me know how much you want.

Unfortunately the CBS pads are either neoprene or foam rubber both of which shrink or disintegrate after a while (ask me how I know that).
