Ive lost/worn out the rubber foot on my 7 tread step ladder.

the aluminium section is 40 by 20 and the ladder was made by the
TIMBALLOY LADDER COMPANY LIMITED since liquidated .

any ideas for a generic foot ?

Two thoughts on this...

1. It explains why step ladders at the sheds often have missing feet:-)

2. You probably used the steps on soft ground and are unlikely to make
the planted foot grow.

I'll leave others to suggest a source:-)

I though you just did :-P

Dunno which of these might fit other ladders

That's what happened to a couple of mine. I ordered new ones from Abru and
po-riveted them in. Also pop-riveted those on the new ladders.

It happened to one of mine recently when I was attaching guttering to
the conservatory. As it was pee-ing down, I thought I'd leave it 'til
the next day. I've poked and prodded the area thoroughly and there's no
sign. I can only think it's deeper than I can search without destroying
the area even more - I did at one point joke that the ladder was sinking
as fast as I climbed it (I wasn't worried, as I only needed to stand on
the second rung to reach).
