Johannes,
I got some nitrile rubber sheet and cut them out using a scalpel - seem to work ok !

i second johns post, they are very good, sent me a coolant pump for my chipmaster next day.
I was going to buy felt, there is a music repair place in reading sells the stuff[there is a post about this subject]. I think your looking at a few quid for the stuff. I tried scrounging some, then realised i have half a roll of felt - breather cloth for vacuuming.

IMHO you want to avoid felt if you use coolant. You will get a black mark on the bed where the wiper is left static for more than a day or two. Fairly stiff nitrile rubber is the stuff to use.

Do you know of a source or is it used for other things?

Don't have the address until I can find it.
I think there is a company called Hill's Rubber based in Reading. Have to dig out an old invoice.
