      but fair play to you paul
      Are not the bulkhead pads made out of a bitumous material rather than rubber, as the material it goes brittle as it ages.

      I need one and have been thinking how to make one, possibly by making a form out of wood, and possibly using a material stuck on in layers rather like paper mache, but in the right suitable material. This could even be given a final bitumous finish to look original. Perhaps someone knows of a material that could be used in this way to give a acceptable finish.

      Food for thought!

        it's ok trying to make a pad but theres not a big call for them as most ppl on this BB have there cars done. it's just the odd person that needs one and the come up on ebay enough to stop the demand. i have looked into having them remade and it's just to hard and it will cost to much.

                                I for one needs one. I won't risk taking mine off my car again. Next time it will snap in half as it is so brittle, and many others are probably going the same. I also wonder how used ones for sale survive in the post!

                                Great job you are doing with the new parts, and good luck.
