Greetings, 
    Years ago, I needed to replace one of these understring supports, and I 
found a sheet of asbestos material at the local gasket supply house.  It is 
non-friable,(doesn't make dust), durable, and cuts with a regular box cutter. 
    I bet there are other gasket materials in a variety of thicknesses that 
would handle this job quite well.
