Is there a cheap place to get these pieces of rubber?

Anybody tried using a section of one of these?

This looks too wide, but I have a razor blade.

I'll buy the real thing if it is better, but it seems like an expensive piece of rubber with two holes in it.

Be sure what you get is reinforced as-high-temp-as-possible rubber. I've seen some that looked like they were a simple thick sheet of plain tire rubber- which MELTED, then broke due to the heat in our very short exhausts. I once built an exhaust collector to run outside the garage in winter so I could keep the roll-up door closed for comfort, and the steel Mk1 clamp-on collector attached to the muffler tips MELTED SOLDER on some of the parts. I had to repeat the whole fabrication using braze.

It won't do most of you any good but my exhaust hangers are fabricated from a test slab of rocket-motor case insulation of silicon-reinforced EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diamine) rubber, good for 650 F before it chars; it does not melt.
