I have a vintage WearEver cast aluminum citrus juicer needing
replacement rubber feet. The originals were a 7/16" (.4375) diameter
shoulder that fit into the base hole by 1/4" (.25) and the upper pad
part is an additional 1/4" higher that steps up to a 1/2" (.5) pad
diameter. *This mfger is out of business and I am looking for a source
that may have a workable solution for replacements.


A glob of silicone caulk would work nicely...just turn it upside-down,
put on s.c., smooth to level the s.c., let cure. *I have used it many
times to make "feet" for things that might scratch furniture. *My
favorite trivets for hot dishes are ceramic floor tiles with little s.c.
feet.


Ive molded rubber feet from silicone and used a piece of cardboard
tube for a mold. Use more silicone to glue it on. Big globs take a
while to set up, maybe a week.
