Speaking for myself I've been disappointed in it too. The original foam was typically very porous and compressible. It was specifically engineered by the camera manufacturer to be a good brake, and good cushion, and a good vibration damper, all in one. All the other foam is denser. You have to tinker with foaming and re-foaming with pieces you have to slit, till it's just right; or as right as it can be. Too thick and it may jam the camera or be rough on the mirror hinges. Too narrow, and the mirror will over-travel its intended distance, being hard on the hinges once again. PITA.
You can order mirror foam from Micro-tools.

Yep!+1 I've bought many seal kits from Jon Goodman, and they not only fit perfectly, he provides concise and clear directions. Trust him.

Yep!The nice part about buying the kits from Jon, is that they are always cut to the right size, and made from stuff that works. No need to experiment, and redo.
I've purchased several different kits from him. Each is custom made for the subject camera.
Yep!Jon Goodman is a *great* fellow to deal with as mentioned above. Excellent materials, too!
....and in the narrow channels for the back and other places I use black wool.
