Bench Lockdowns for a Machinist Vice

Woodsmith No. 161 tips & tricks featured these Bench Lockdowns for a
Machinist Vice, that used cam levers and rubber bumpers in the dog
holes to anchor a mounting board to a workbench. Just wondering if any
of you have made this, because I’m stumped on finding suitable rubber
pieces. I’ve tried Reid’s and I’ve tried Mid Atlantic Rubber. I’m
guessing there is some commonly available item to use, but I can’t
find it. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Troy

I don't have that issue at hand, but I think I know what you're referring to, in which case rubber faucet washers or O-rings should do the trick. You can probably find what you need at Lowe's or Home Depot, but if not, a plumbing supply house will have a larger selection of different sizes.
