Steering column to floor sponge seal material

I am looking to create my own Steering column to floor sponge seal because the one's I have found in the catalogs don't fit the size of hole I have in my fire wall. Does anyone know of a material that I can use that is similar that I can use to create my own?

It resembles the close celluose foam material we use in Light Rail in some applications for gaskets on roof top components.

I think the stuff in the link will work since it's oil resistant, black, non-absorbant, reasonably priced and readily available - plus a 12 inch square piece should be more than enough for a couple of shots at it.

If the thickness is an issue it comes in thinner dimensions too.

Let us know what you come up with...
Good Luck!

I found some at the local OSH Hardware store. You can buy it in different thicknesses.
