For this piece here, does anyone sell the rubber or foam to go around it? It was stapled in place. And what is it called? Any and all help would be appreciated.

I'm certain somebody sells it although offhand I can't recall the name of that piece. When I re-did mine I just cut two pieces of common inner tube, glued them together with plain contact cement and used that same cement to glue that to the metal piece. Cut it so it folds inward and not outward. Good luck!

Edit...sorry...by inward I mean pointing back in toward the wheel well. That little flap is to keep water, dust, etc from coming in as much

That seal comes with the anti-squeak kit sold by vendors. It is used on those pieces and the top and front of the inner fender.

Thank you, Jon, 52Carl and Dan. Just the information I needed. Jon, I like your innovative DIY; unfortunately, with my essential tremors and lack of available inner tubes in my area, mine wouldn't be very effective nor cost efficient. I appreciate you guys!

Sorry to hear that, Stewart. I need to see if any of the tire shops here have an old tube they're discarding.

Jon G - Would a torn wheel inner tube flap work in place of an inner tube? Recently had an extra set of old wheels/tires broken down and one flap was snagged and got torn.

I don't know, Dan. A couple of layers of innertube glued together work really well and inner tube rubber lasts a long time. If you mean the inner tube flap that sits atop the wheel (between the wheel and the tube), that's usually thinner, isn't it? I normally hunt for truck tubes since they're heavier weight.
