I shouldn't imagine you can buy these new as the reproducer is manufactured by a smaller brand however I have had good results with surgru it is a mouldable rubber. https://www.amazon.com/Sugru-Mouldable- ... B008URBC9I

Hope this helps I think you can buy it cheaper.

I've successfully used an Exhibition back flange, drilled new holes and filled the unused holes with black silicone.

Andreas,
I tried fitting the exhibition flange on the tonearm and it's just a little too small so it won't go on. It sure would have been an easy fix though if only it would fit. Thank you, Jan
