Almost all my typewriters have the problem of hardened, cracking rubber feet.

Does anyone here have experience with reproducing rubber parts like these?

Turning them on a lathe might be possible, but not all machines have cylindrical feet.

Is there rubber you can pour into a mold and cure?

@draemmli the only casting for normal people i know of is to use some resin. But making the mold isn't that easy either, nore will the result have an equal quality.
Maybe cutting and glueing is an option?
