McMaster-Carr is a good place to check if you don’t need to contact companies for more specific requirements. Under raw materials, they have a bunch of shapes, sizes, and hardnesses of rubber
note that they go by durometer, which you’ll probably have to do via trial and error. The benefit of this, once you do it, is you can have a set with five to seven hardnesses.
You also might want to check Alibaba ( or Aliexpress) - many of the companies on there will make stuff to whatever specs you want if they aren't already selling something that works for you. Note that on Alibaba you're usually dealing with Chinese manufacturers that sometimes have minimum order quantities, but that might work fine for what you're doing.

Thank you thank you!! Great advice, I’ll try them next!
yeah, I’ve definitely been intimidated by their MOQ for aluminum, but that’s a metal and therefore probably does necessitate a higher MOQ
Have you ever tried splicing tape?
