Default Frame Horn Seals etc.

Anyone come across the material they use for things like the frame horn seals, the inner fender splash shields, also used in various other places? Kind of like a rubberized paper product.

For some reason I kind of want to make those pieces myself and I'm trying to find the proper material. Rather than spending any more money trying in hit and miss attempts at McMaster I figured I'd ask if anyone has discovered what the material is. I'm sure it's not custom manufactured for vintage cars.

I think it's something like this stuff:

About 1/16" thick.

Recently I found the EXACT same plastic brake pedal pivot bushings on McMaster ... exact dimensions, color and appearance of the OEM part ... I get a kick of out that.
