I've got some rubber washers that would do the same thing (bought them to fix the wheel arch liner problem. )

Hi Simon.
The alloy I used was some that I found in the shed, i think it came off an old washing machine? it was about 2mm thick being that thickness you can form it to fit.
Curses - I got rid of an old machine recently but didn't keep any side panels off it. I did keep some its bolts though.
