Default Trailer clamp pad - where to find one?

On my Komet trailer, the wingtips are held into place by a clamp with
a pad that is connected to the ceiling of the trailer. *When the
trailer is closed, this pad is pressed against the trailing edge of
the wingtip. *The construction of the rubberish-foam is about 3/8 inch
thick.

This pad needs to be replaced. *Any suggestions of what to use?


There's lots of "rubberish-foam" available from McMaster-Carr on-line.
They even have some Durometer charts to compare the degree of firmness
of the various rubber materials along with their resistance to
weathering.
