Need some help - not Lotus related - Unipower

In addition to my +2S rebuild I am in putting the final touches on my 1967 Unipower GT. One problem I have is finding replacements for the brake and clutch pedal pads. I am in touch with several other owners and none of us can figure out what they are originally off of. One of my friends in the UK found a set that fit at a car show on a table of random unmarked items. The vendor did not know what car they came from.
I am in the US and have looked at a lot of cars over the years but have not found anything the right size. I know that Unipower got most of these types of parts off of other cars and so far all but the headlights originated in the UK. The pedals have a WATEX logo on the front and the name Waterford's on the rear. Several years ago I talked to people at a Waterford Rubber Co. in the UK but they were no help.
The pedals are 2" wide and 2 1/2 in tall. They are rubber and have lips that wrap around the pedal edges. I do not care if they match exactly as long as they fit.
Thanks for the help

If you can't find rubbers that fit, how about this stuff?

Casting your own pedal pads can be done. I need new pads for my Sabra GT restoration. Carved out some molds, I made mine out of aluminum, but they can be done with a block of wood and then varnished, get some two part urethane and make your own. A hardness rating of 80 would be a minimum.
