Peter - I bought a replacement pad for my old Porter Cable 5" R/O sander on Ebay and I'm pleased with it.
only thing is the rubber is a bit more "firmer" than the original. (or - the original was so deteriorated I didn't notice).
worth a shot - much cheaper than buying another sander.
what sources have you checked so far ??
