No that's the modern version of this stuff. Some time in the late  
90's that making it in in metal that needed to pop riveted and just  
went with a solid rubber with double sided tape. I'm going to have  
the  holes filled at the point I have it panted but right now I'm  
just looking for a few of the rubber pieces in black to replace the  
missing ones I have.

Good call though!
