Aftermarket Gauges Foam/Rubber

So, I relocated my hvac and replaced it with a gauge cluster forever ago. Recently, I've noticed rattling coming from the cluster, and upon further investigation I came to find out that the foam that I had installed originally with the gauges had turned to dust. I have looked EVERYWHERE for new foam tape so I can replace it and seriously can't find anything anywhere. Has anyone found a better solution than the foam to hold the gauges in place? I'm at a loss.

PS; I tried searching but couldn't seem to find any good solutions.

I've attached these pictures in hopes it'll help out.

I can't speak for Prosport, it's surprising there's nothing on the back like Autometer to hold them in place. I used Athletic Tape on mine to fill out the opening and make them fit nice and snug

Yeah, wrap them in any kind of tape. Green painters tape would probably work too, just need something to snug it up. Walk around the tape/bondo/sandpaper section of AutoZone and you should find something that will work, get creative

I buy these foam adhesive sheets and cut them. I find tons of uses for them.
