Foam tape for loudspeaker mounting. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Has anyone found a good replacement for the 6mm self adhesive foam sealing tape such as found on '60s Philips radios? The draught sealing tape that I have found in local hardware stores is much too dense and will not compress sufficiently. The original sealing tape is a much more 'open' (i.e. less dense) foam, with larger bubbles compared with the stuff that I have found.
