Those bumpers are $18 each, does anyone have a picture of what they actually are? I'm thinking there's got to be a cheaper method  


Here is a picture of sorts and  a couple of earlier threads. Ignore the bit of extra foam I was experimenting with.

If I needed new ones I'd just find a straight length of rubber and bend it to fit. The material is not solid hard rubber and not open cell foam but something in between. Quite firm with a little bit of give.

Thanks for the info, Barry. I think I'll experiment some with alternatives before shelling out the $$
