I need new feet for one of my monitors, specifically a "Macintosh Color Monitor" (by Apple, obviously, model designation M1212), as of the 7 feet it should have, two look good, a couple are in bad shape, and the rest were gone when I got the monitor. And though this might not be the best place to ask, I figured it might be as good a place as any to start asking (and actually, I don't know where else to ask, as it's the only forum I regularly visit).

Anyone know where to find adhesive rubber feet with roughly the following dimensions:
length: 25 mm (1 in)
width: 12 mm (1/2 in)
height: 6 mm (1/4 in)

I recently easily found new feet for my Amiga 500, those seem to grow on trees. The feet I'm looking for though? Can't find anything. The only things I find if I search for anything related to Apple are feet for various MacBooks, which are a fair bit more recent than my monitor, and don't quite have the dimensions I'm looking for.

See attached images for what the current ones look like.

One suggestion I have for you is....do you have anything like a Home Depot, or other type of Home Center in Sweden? I can often find all kinds of different rubber pads, and bumpers in some of the HD's here, that I use for custom cabinetry I build for customers. If you get into the right isle in one of those types of stores, you can find all kinds of neat items, or something that my be close enough for you to adapt to your needs.

Very small gum boots would work.

Foam tape, cut to size. Stacked if necessary.

Take a sharp butcher knife and carve a big chunk of rubber off of a car tire then carve it to size indoors. A bit of contact cement or epoxy and you're golden.

While beautiful feet (I'm sure the owner is as well), I'm not sure they'd suit the rest of me.

You can make feet of any size with ... glue sticks gun! You can create a form from usual paper and clipper. Fill it up, let it cool down and stick it to any surface with the same glue gun! They are very durable.

That's not an all too bad idea, or a variation of that, at least. I have a few old shoes, and if some of them have thick enough (solid) outer soles, I could perhaps cut pieces from those.

I'll just have to source a tire from somewhere (I don't have a car, so I don't normally acquire them).

remove them both and apply a new something for balance

Naw, you just need to source a department store parking lot. :)

Duh. Of course I'll replace all feet, the pictures were just to show how it currently looks.
