[OM] Replacement Light-tight Foam Source?

I have several old (1960's) vintage cameras that are in need of replacement
foam around the film door.  Does anyone know of a good source for uncut,
sheet foam that meets the specs necessary for such replacements?  I don't
know if I need it to be adhesive-backed or not.  I'm assuming I can use
rubber cement if they're not adhesive-backed.  I'd bet they used rubber
cement back then anyway.  

I've been able to see postings on rec.photo.marketplace where some guy is
offering kits, but I don't want to get into that.  The cameras are too odd.  

BTW, I'm not trying to repair the insides of OM's.   John has scared me
into NEVER opening an OM, otherwise I'll be selling a box of parts on Ebay.
 (and getting a tongue lashing from him and the rest of the group, and we
all know what happened last time THAT thread got started!)

Thanks,

Skip
