 I think that the last time I needed some rubber mounting strips for a dial glass I cut up an old bicycle inner tube, rubber bands have a habit of drying up and rotting around here. In any even it looks like the metal backing plate needs to be taken out, derusted and painted, (or is it rusty brown flocking?) but that is a cosmetic job that Ron can handle later. 
Regards
Arran
