I have an excellent table mounted vice from Stanley which I use to hold metal figures while I work on them. However, the rubber pads in the clamp jaws are now shot and need replacement. It is a STANLEY® MAXSTEEL® Multi Angle Vice.
I am finding it very difficult to find spares or replacement parts. It is very much an off-chance but does anyone know of a source for these rubber parts? |

As they look like the screws at the top are to replace those pads they have to have a replacement. I run into rubber close to size but not actually for that as they are square but that long. |

Generic "Soft Jaws" are readily available. Such as:

I just stick my figures on old soda bottle caps with blue-tack and paint away. I can't imagine using that contraption. |
