    Looks like the pad is missing. I use some "rare" Elfgen non release bindings.
    I'll add a pic tomorrow.
    What kind of rubber should I use to make some pads? I suppose different producers don't fit each other.

      I've been wondering the same thing myself for some binding modifications... I'm guessing it might be butyl rubber on the Receptors, but I've seen different types on other brands. The pads were pretty thin on my old Dynastars if I remember right, but the ones on my RVL8s look to be about 1/4" thick.

      Silicone rubber would probably work fine, too.

        On the Bomber Elites I think the rubber was slightly thicker than the one of the Receptors, but not by much. Snowjam Extreme bindings rubber was slightly thinner. I think 7-8mm of thickness should be enough, and I would rather be concerned for it to be neither too stiff, feeling like a block of wood, nor too soft and to get completely squished between bindings and boards

            This is an old thread describing how I made replacement riser pads for non release bindings, hope it helps.

              Those are some badass purple bindings! I can see why you want new pads for them.
