You can use any rubber for it just put in any rubber you want and cut it to size.

wagtail rubber from wcw even though pricey at around £14 for 3 mtrs is the best rubber going .

I agree with you Carnforth Bob.
I find the other rubbers which worked perfectly well in the ettore brass squeegees etc.. don't quite remove the soap off the window as well.

It seems with rubbers such as the Pulex in the Wagtail you have to hold it at a steeper angle to get best results.
Whereas the Wagtail rubber works perfectly even at the acute angle the flipper is set at.
