Rubber pads
jimgiblett - 31/3/11 at 05:00 PM

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.

Jim, i used rubber straps from a PO trolley/cage from work, i might even have some more left to cut up.

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).
