A chap back in N.Z. made his from a white industrial plastic. He heated the stuff in the oven, and then used a suspension ball and a suspension unit to press the shape into them, before trimming them up.
I cannot report as to how they have worked out.
Yes Chris they look like brake lining material and as wartime production, I would expect an asbestos content.
