I currently have four Ludwig aluminum practice pads in my collection, ranging from the 1950s through the early 1980s. One of the pads came without the rubber suction cup feet on bottom.
Without the rubber feet, I could only use this pad on a stand. I wanted to replace the feet.
After contacting Ludwig and learning that replacement feet for this pad had been discontinued long ago, I went looking for another solution.
After looking at length, I finally found a solution online.
These are sold by multiple outlets (including the evil Amazon, which I will never use). I found mine on eBay and the price was right.
Update: they arrived, and I installed them. See below.
The feet fit the threaded holes fine. However, they run a bit long. Two solutions are to either cut the posts shorter (though this could be difficult without bolt cutters, and then you'd have to clean up the top of the threads to screw them into the pad base); or to use washers to take up the stack height. I chose the latter solution and it seems fine.
