I bought a similar sounding material from a company that manufactures just
about anything. I believe it is made up of rubber and nylon layers. I was
thinking of holding it in place by using some basic silicone caulking. I
will only do this if I can get it all in w/ a dry fit first. I don't want
the stuff to work its way out over time. I know it will be cinched down
once I torque in all the bolts.
If more is needed on one side of the car versus the other, can I chaulk it
up to a slightly twisted frame? Need to know this as I don't want to load
up one side more that the other. Could affect body part fits. Larry.

I used reinforced rubber, like a used conveyer belt.
