No, the potential suppliers I tried earlier in the year didn't respond or can no longer produce them. Does anyone know who can produce them? I can send a sample from the existing type. I will try looking for some other suppliers in the new year

Sorry to rake up an old post but wondered if anyone was still interested in trying to get these made? - I have a contact from the shoe industry that maybe able to churn a few sets of these out if I can get accurate dimensions and the material etc.

I was looking at Sorbathane as a material but it's quite thick 1mm+ usually and has a naturally sticky surface which may not be ideal.

Any takers?

Sorry I didn't get back to this as I have some on the car, although not a complete set. I didn't look for new suppliers due Covid and my car was up for sale. So hasn't been a priority

I have found some potential new suppliers. Essentially its a rubber washer or gasket type product with adhesive layer on one side. I have some old ones spare, which have lost their adhesive layer, so could send them as a sample to anyone who wants to pursue this as well? PM me. I will also make enquiries at a new supplier near me as well

No worries - I haven't managed to fit my adjustable dampers yet so haven't been in much of a rush to do this yet either!
If you have a set that you could photograph on some graph paper (with known dimension squares) I'll try to whip up a drawing / template.

Hope you are only selling your car to make way for a new 4!

Cheers
