    I found out 2 days ago that my toughbook is missing one of its rubber feet. I could possibly make my own, but i wanted to find out how much there were and where/if i can get them. Any suggestions?

    Just hang out and I think probably one of the regulars here can offer you something. Some of the regular guys here stock spare parts. If you don't get any response by this evening, you might make another post with "want to buy" in the title.

    If you can't find an oem, they have a little item at Staples, comes in a package of 6 I believe, which is self adhesive and can be trimmed with scissors before you stick it on. Perfect thickness for toughbook feet! I think yhey call it a furniture protector or something like that. I'll look in the cellar for name, I know I still have some around.
    And they really do stick!
    Found them, "Scratch Guard, Crystal Clear, Surface Protectors". There are 20 in a package, 3/4" size. I've had some on a couple of toughbooks for a long time, in toughbook type conditions, and they don't come off!

    DOH. I must have been tired or something thinking I should buy a rubber foot. Its always been in my nature to make my own stuff. Didn't think about those. Thanks for snapping me out of it.

    Are you looking for the front or the rear foot?

    That's not what he is looking for. Those aren't feet... They are the corner bumpers.
