Referring to my post?
I got them from my local rigger here in Norway http://www.southerncross.no/en/
They source parts from vendors like Selden, Sparcraft and others but I don't know who made these.
These pads are made in different thicknesses.
Have not measured the density but they don't compress much.

I have an old keel stepped Isomat mast. the deck ring was designed to use small wooden wedges.
The wedges we had where like this


They worked loose, I discussed solutions to this with my rigger, he suggested switching to these rubber pads. No problems more than 5 years later.
