On Steinway's I've used a rubber hose, like a gas supply line. Measure the
inside dimension of the cup in the pedal, and then go to an auto supply
store and buy a rubber hose with the same outside dimension.

I tuned a Baldwin SF grand today that I haven't seen for a while.  The
sustain 
pedal squeaked, and as far as I could tell the offender was the hard, dried
out, 
rubber cup, bushing, collar (I don't know what to call it) that sits in the
end 
of the pedal and receives the pedal rod.  Does anyone know where to get
these?  
They are not the same from piano to piano.  I have some for other brands,
and 
they did not work here.  The whole set needs to be replaced.  I can't find
them 
in Schaff's catalog (doesn't mean they aren't there).
