Source for foam spacers?

I'm using this time and my now lack of income to make a handlebar roll harness. I have scavenged most needed parts from around the house, but would like to use some foam spacers to fit with my brakes.

Any ideas where I can source some from online?

I might be able to source something for you, we get all sorts of IT equipment delivered with different types of foam packing.
I’ll see what we have when I’m in the office tomorrow.

Hey that'd be really handy. I might have jammed something together with some old hose and thin packing foam, but proper thicker foam would be ideal.

Forgot to reply sorry, I did check at work but the foam we currently have is probably a bit too squishy.

I know the stuff you mean as I have it on my Restrap harness, we're due a delivery of more kit in the next few weeks so I'll see what we get.

Yep, those are great, but a little on the pricey side for a low/no budget MYOG project. Fit for purpose, though.

No worries, cheers mate. I think for now I can repurpose something from around the house, unsure how well they'll work, but we'll see. Only last month I got rid of the unused part of my cut down foam pad after a year of it sitting in the closet before I finally decided I wouldn't find a use for it :roll:
