Any ideas on where I can acquire the rubber that fits over the contact points for the battery grip on the bottom of the K200D?

If it's part of the original design, just contact Pentax.

I've been trying to find one also. They are not available through Pentax parts.
The tech told me the ones from other models won't fit either.
So, I just don't take the grip off.

Update: I just called Pentax accessories dept. to see if they had the part. The gentleman said was able to locate one in a drawer of parts. He said he was going to ship it out to me free of charge! Wow! This further confirms that I made the right choice in going with Pentax.
