Now kinky answers are expected but that's not wot i'm after in the main i need a small piece of flat rubber circa 5mm thick at a guess & only needs to be around 8cm by 5cm at most but more cant hurt. It's for a bung type thing for a piece that's missing off spoiler & piece on other side seems rubbery.
So where can you buy such goodies?
Cheers

OllyK

At least you are preparing yourself for the worst!

If it is an actual part, then try the main dealers, a breaker or your local scooby custom part supplier.

Failing that have a look on Yell.com for local rubber manufacturers / suppliers.

If all else fails go to ann summers and cut a dido down to size, you may need to spray it unless you get a Black one!

ozzy

well, with statements like "but more can't hurt" or "a bung type thing" what do you expect

Your gimp outfit got a hole in it Si?

andrewdelvard

Try an art and crafts shop. You got anymore RX7 stories? Quite enjoyed the one in other marques....

ozzy

Maybe you could add more animated smilies to your next story Si

Cut up a car mat?

David Lock

Old tyre inner tube doubled up?

Hammy Hamster

Some of the cloth-faced mouse mats have a rubber base. The one I'm using now would probably do the job, but you ain't having it.

Just a thought.

Underlay, or rubber floor tile from bathroom supplier.

Try Telboy

smilies never hurt anyone lol, erm well it's a piece for the spoiler although it isn't made anymore so original piece cannot be found but i'd of fort a bit of rubber would be easy enough to find, if only i could escape lol
Hmm surely sumwhere sell rubber slabs or er i dunno but er where can u get rubber flooring then i only use the quality PVC stuff, as i work for such a fine company, but at work i recall my boss searching for PVC in relation to a search for raw materials but was inundated with the more specialist sites so i haven't dared trying for rubber just yet

sorry to be sensible but we use rubber on medical sealing dies at work. i've got 3mm black rubber,3mm white rubber and 5mm white rubber.

i can cut you off a peice if you want, just let me know what size you're after and an address and i'll post some off, mail me direct if you prefer m8.

the rubber can be cut to shape with a scalpel, the 3mm being a fair bit easier to cut, but a nice new blade will go thru the 5mm no worries.

'cut a ***** down' , yeah we make them aswell. last freakshow one was a buttplug with a tail on the end what the hell is all that about? all goes to paying the bills i suppose

have you got any pics of the recess you need to put the rubber in? don't know how succesfull painting the rubber will be but you're more than welcome to some to have a go, might the other route be a paint shop filling it and spraying? just firing a few ideas around

the missing bung (tailless) is as per:

i'll measure the dimensions later on before i give ya the full SP but if poss i'll blag 2 bits so i can do the other side so it matches but currently looks like:

no worries mate, what might be easier is if you cut a cardboard template to fit, send me that and i'll cut them out at work for you.

funny looking hole ain't it? looks like a plastic plate or something should go there, not a problem to do the rubber but long term i'd look into getting that plated off and filled/sprayed or is that bolt in there do allow for adjusting/tilting of the spoiler blade?

nice car by the way, a friends got one of these, you might of seen it in a few mags, bright yellow with SHY AUTO stickers on it (he owns the company), i think it's running 410bhp at the wheels(!) after a lot of work recently. lovely cars but i couldn't get on with all that power thru the rear wheels, i'd stuff it backwards into a ditch within a week!

just drop me a mail if you want to send a template and i'll send you my address.

scooby_si

Aha would that be Clive yer talking about that man has a luv for all things yellow & fair play to the man luvly car
YHM & i know what you mean rubber does seem a strange choice but that is what is in all the other bits as per the round piece you can see in pikky & the parrallelogram bit which aint missing the other side also has manufacturers name on that piece if rubber. CHap did send me sum carbon fibre to cut & fill the gap which i may have a play with but if i can get a good piece of rubber then it should look pucker
Cheers again.
