Part name - rubber piece, underside of the case

#1 Post by lparsons » Tue Jan 27, 2009 11:25 pm

I need new "rubber bumpers" for the underside of my thinkpad, but I suspect that isn't the right name for what I am looking for. I am referring to the rubber parts that help hold the case up off the table.

I tried searching for "thinkpad R32 rubber", "thinkpad R32 feet", "thinkpad R32 foot", "thinkpad R32 bumper" and none of them matched. What is the right name for these?

"Rubber feet" is the most commonly used one AFAIK...

If you look on e.g. eBay, don't use the work Thinkpad, use IBM instead.
Search on eBay for e.g.: IBM R3* part* and you'll find quite a selection.

Looking with ibm laptop feet turns up 2 finds!

fyi, to search on ebay for either IBM or Thinkpad, or both, use the following construct:
+(IBM, Thinkpad)
There is no limit for the terms within the parens (other than the general character limit for a search).

Searching for +(thinkpad,ibm) rubber feet finds 4+1 results, though apparently none for an R32.
