John & Bob,
Thanks for posting this information.
I did a lot of searching yesterday for an adhesive that will work between silicone rubber and various other materials (such as unpainted or primed metal/steel). There are some medical adhesives but they are expensive and they are quite specific regarding the type of silicone "rubber" and the type of other surface.
It would be nice to hear from someone who has successfully attached these "rubber" pads to the metal base plates, rather than relying on speculation on what might work. However, speculation and trial-and-error might be the only way of finding a solution (and hoping that the rubber pads do not get destroyed during the experimentation).
This morning, I sent a query to Jim Carter. I'll post his response.
