For everyone's information, the rubber corners are available from Woolies
in England at a lower cost than other places. This is also a great source
for every and any type of trim item from "lift the dot" fasteners to hidem
stripping in various colors. If Woolies doesn't have it no one does. They
also do carpeting and covering materials.
