Feet for SGI Indy
I have found that common 13mm/.5in bumpers sold at Walmart work great side by side to replace Indy feet.

Original turned 'snotty'? I have an Indy with the same problem, and the feet of the 'slab' keyboards suffer from it too.

Because of the tendency of the rubber feet becoming squishy, particularly at the PSU underside, i replace them with thick leather cut to size and fix them with some double-adhesive tape. The leather will endure the warmth just fine

Yeah, the rubber degrades and becomes more like glue.
