side mirrors - need to make rubber gasket/grommets
Hiya folks.
I have these mirrors here:

The painted white ones on the right side(the shiny ones are fomoco)... for my '65 chevy truck.

So, I want to mount up my side mirrors, but I bought these mirrors used, as they are '64-'66 vintage OEM chevy parts... so no rubber gaskets to fit between the mounting arms and the body of the door.
I am looking basically for a printer paper sized sheet of rubber to cut my own gaskets(for lack of a better term). When I was a kid this was a common thing... I found the cork and paper(for using with fuel systems) gaskets, but so far no joy on the rubber.
I went around to some parts stores today and the parts people looked at me and said: yeah, that seems like something you could get in a parts store, but I don't know of anything we have.
I'm thinking maybe they have it, or they can get it, they just do not know exactly what to call it.
So, if anyone has any information they can share.. parts numbers, names of brands, name of product, whatever, I'd appreciate it.
I'm also going to try the local hardware store, we have a pretty good one, maybe they have something I can use.
Thanks,
-W
