Rubber bands replacement list

[Lucse]

Many of us have already encountered the problem of lenses with rubbers that need to be replaced.

So I think that it would be nice to have a list of replacement rubbers.
And with those I mean rubbers with the same structure, pattern and diameter-size that can be taken from other cheap donor-lenses.

These lenses should be easy to find and cheap. So the best thing to do is to look for broken, damaged, fungus-infested or otherwise worthless lenses that have those rubbers that you need.
Most of the time these will be zoom-lenses, which also have the big advantage that they often have very big rubbers (in length that is).

So I hope that many will share their experience in this matter and that we will come to a long list of cheap replacement rubbers.

These are a few to start:

- Super Multi Coated Takumar 100mm f/4 macro------ Replacement: Tamron Adaptall-2 80-210mm f/3.8-4 (model 103A)

- Kilfitt lenses (all kinds) these lenses have a very fine ribbed rubber------ Replacement: Tamron SP 70-210mm f/3.5 (cheapest possible donor).

- Vivitar Series 1 135mm f/2.3 (this is a difficult one because the focusring is conical shaped)----- Replacement: Vivitar macro focussing zoom 75-205mm f/3.8

Length is not a problem, just cut them to size.
And if you have a rubber that doesn't fit anymore, because it has stretched out during time, just put it in a pre-heated oven at 250 degrees (Celcius) for a few minutes and it will slightly shrink.

I have a Chinon 24mm f/2.5 that lacks it's focus-rubber.

The same type of rubber is used on Olympus Zuiko lenses and Porst 55mm f/1.2 lenses (just to name a few).

The pattern is fine and diagonal. Like this:


So, my logical question is: What would the cheapest-possible lens that has this type of rubber?
The diameter should be 63 mm or slightly less.

Edit: I just noticed that there is a very small difference between the rubberband of that Porst lens and the ones on a Zuiko lens.
On the Porst the diamond shapes are in the horizontal direction, while on the Olympus Zuiko and also on the Chinon they are in the vertical direction.
Although I am rather sure that in reality nobody will notice this difference we should look for the exact same pattern and direction in our donor-rubber, I guess.

Thanks

Maybe I approached this in the wrong way.
Maybe it would have been better if I made some pictures of all the different types of rubber bands with a list of all possible cheap substitutes?

I thought it would be a good idea to start such a list of 'cheap replacement rubbers' but seen the fact there's nobody reacting, I might have been mistaken.

I have replaced a rubber grip with leather before now.
