Does anyone recognize this thin rubber mat found under the pedal cluster that can offer a part number? Ours is breaking down.

I looked in the PDF parts catalog and searched on vendor sites but can't find a part number. Alternatively, is there a material source that I can cut my own?

Thank you.

I recently pulled the pedal cluster on a low mile car and did not see anything like that under the cluster.
When you install the cluster put some sealant around the studs that go through the firewall. It prevents wayer entry which is why clusters rust out on the bottom. Porsche started doing that on 1978 911"s

What is the recommended sealant? Presumably Porsche used something from Wurth?

I removed the rubber pad and did some wire wheel action on the visible rust. Some more surprises.

Like @Craigers17 I have an odd circular area which looks like someone tried to seal it.

@DennisV The "disk" in my hand in my post was sitting right in the area that you have circled in red. I wonder if you clean up that sealant what you find under it ...if anything.
