Would anybody have a lump of rubber block between 15-25mm thick and about 25mm square?
Just trying to avoid spending 8 quid on a Matt to cut the corner off and forever for it to be in the way until required for a job and by which point it’s knackered! I’m sure you’ve all been there? “I’ll keep hold of that as I reckon it’ll come in for something”, go grab it 6 years later and it’s shagged out and you bin it
Soz to be on the scrounge but cash flow has been crap this month and still skint 🫤

Roo have you looked at the rubber blocks that they fit on Horse Box ramps. I used some to make door stops on some UPVc Hotel double doors a few years back. They are big enough to make pretty much what you want with rubber to spare - just a thought. They have gone up a lot since I bought a pair in 2017!

In the morning I will take a look in my garage as I used to have a few rubber mounts for previous 4x4's plus some orange graded suspension rubbers. If I find anything that might be suitable I will take a photo - postage all free to you Bud - I'll check against your sizes.

I’ve mocked up various and decided on a best fit scenario using a P9 battery as a substitute, imaginary, rubber which is 15mm thick. Give it another 10mm or so to allow for wriggle room and I should be golden once fiddled with. I’ve seen dense rubber stable mats that would be ideal but nobody wants to cut a corner off for me the miserable swines
Up for anything as long as it’s carvable or at least able to get some form of finish on rather than bobbly, sanding marks being left due to its density. You kinda get the drift?

A bit of thinking outside the box - no pun intended.

Roo, I've a box of rubber in various sizes. You are welcome to rummage!
Careful there, double entendre incoming soon ;D

just got in and seen your eelmail, thanks buddy but I dont think I can do anything with that although a good shput. I saw a pal today and he's going to dig out a 'bed-stop' off a fork lift for me that he shpwed me this morning via email, looks just the part to be fiddled with so I await with bated breath for its arrival. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, splendid response as ever and a great help :)
