Other wise the silicone rubber might be available through automotive
stores. It is available through aviation parts suppliers. It's the same
stuff they use for engine heat baffles. Might be a tad expensive
though. I don't know what they charge for it. Try a search on
Aircraft Spruce, or AircraftSpruce, or silicone rubber aircraft engine
baffles.
