Stop in at a good fabric store and look around at some of the things they sell. In most non-upholstery fabric stores you can buy nylon belting material (similar to a military or Boy Scout belt) that would probably work.
The Swedish Saab Club sells "balata strips" for the rear axle lower stop that look perfect for the radiator supports but they are about $9 each plus shipping. I have been looking at nylon webbing material that one vendor sells at my local flea market. It is a woven nylon material about the right width and resembles seat belt webbing. It is not as thick as the balata strip material but with a couple of layers it would be as thick and probably many times stronger than the canvas material. Most of what I have seen sells for less than a dollar a yard.
