Reel feet

Does anyone make replacement reel feet? I have a couple Peerless reels with feet too thin for my slide ring bamboo rods. I made a couple wood wedges that work great, but would be nice to have proper fitting reels. Thanks

another thought, something that works for me, is to put moleskin on the underside of the foot.

Peerless fit pretty well on most of my rods, but on the few that did not, I cut out a piece of rubber shelf liner the shape of the foot and placed it under the foot. It works pretty good.
