"tanks" here---
Can anybody tell me where I can buy a rubber (car tyre type) door mat.
I had one years ago made from recycled car tyres, and searching Bunnings and a few other sites does not list them.
Keith.

Most of the auto shops... Supercheap etc... should have a fair range - at least they did the last time I looked.

I haven't seen them for some years Keith. Gotta watch them as the corners tend to curl up sometimes and can trip you up.
Was a chap at Stawell or Ararat that used to collect old tyres from a very large area & make them into matsa.
I think it was OK with old 'rag' tyres but not sure they could do it with steel belt radials?
I'll keep my eye out in Facebook Groups.

" tanks" here---BruceS,
When the corners turned up we just turned the mat over. The rubber was the old "rag or canvas" type thread.
A few days after turning over, the mat would sit flat again.

Those mats can be brought from any hospitality supplier and many hardware stores round the country and they last.
