Is it made just from the plain rubber or reinforced rubber, please? Any pics?

Just a moulded rubber block, but it's "stepped" inside to clear the central insulator or connection post.
It shouldn't be hard to find one, I'm going to Beltring this week and will have a look around.
You may also need the connector plate, and there are two varieties - I can't remember the stores codes at this time of night - one is for the "early" connection and is just a disc with a central insulator that takes a ring terminal on the underside and an aerial pigtail on the top to connect to the base (No.8 or No.10). The later version for coaxial cable feed has a cable clamp (like the Pye elbow socket) underneath and a pillar that takes the coax centre and the pigtail lead. For the co-ax version there's also a different feed plate for the back of the variometer.
Best regards,
Chris.
