Help! Need rubber!

[PaulM12]

I know they are obselete and have tried Jetstream, so I am at your mercy...

I am looking for the rubber feet / gaskets that sit on the wing uprights. Anybody help?

Thanks

Paul

Unavailable anywhere as far as I know. Make your own?

Someone here posted that plain old expanded foam sheet cut to size works fine. I'm not sold on this myself (would the edges splay out looking crap?) - they said no so maybe try this first.

[PaulM12]

Thanks. Getting creative is my last resort but as I have three out of four, I figured I would ask first!

It's time to get creative with a stanley knife and some 3mm rubber sheet.

Mine are seriously tired and almost perished too.

Anyone fancy making a good replacement set? Imagine almost everyone will buy one!

[PaulM12]

Thanks for the picture. Still holding on to finding one but may have to consider it.

If I could find a company locally that manufactured this sort of thing i'd happily approach them. Sounds like even the dealers/specialists would probably buy into it too...

[CoolHands]

has anyone got a scan of the outline of one? At 1:1 scale?

[JBliss]

I think ive got one somewhere, can scan it in for you if i can find it?

[CoolHands]

let me look into it. Are the originals U shaped with a closed top? Or rectangular with smoothed corners?

[JBliss]

they are just rectangular with a recess where the bottom of the upright sits. if that makes any sense?

[CoolHands]

yes.

Hopefully some company can make them like the originals, seems to be the best look.
If anyone finds such a company and can produce new feet I am in for some too.

I'm amazed no one's posted a smart quip about this thread title yet. I keep seeing it in my summary and it makes me think I've loggged into http://www.honour.co.uk/ by mistake

Surely a job for a 3D printer?

Haven't seen one that prints rubber

Otherwise Durex may have some additional competitors!

[CoolHands]

ok well someone provide accurate measurements and some decent photos from all angles of an original, and I'll see if I can get some made as a project. No promises, it's just I like doing things like this.

"Ninjaflex" PU filament would do the job nicely IMO.
It has been used in drive belt applications so flexi and strong.

and with a 3D scan you could have made to measure
