Default Some evidence that these were cut from tires

Hi Alex

I have seen these on CMPs that had obviously been cut from old tire casings. Given the shortage of rubber during the war would not be surprised that these and the rubber cab mounts were cut out of truck tire casing. Following this thought train have cut all of the ones I've replaced.

Cheers Phil
