The easy way to cut and shape any sort of foam is with a hot wire cutter. Making such a device is very simple, just a frame, wire and a battery.

Perhaps an enterprising member could see an opportunity here to make some moulds and knock out new ones using this sort of stuff?

Just be careful if using this stuff, the odour is seriously bad for you, I mean seriously bad, when I was moulding PU foam, all staff were sent for lung screening on a regular basis.

I got sick of the cups and spigot system on the rear light cluster not working on my tourer. I took off the cup and put some Neodymium magnets on the spigot. Works wonders for very little effort.
