Re: [Hornlist] rotor bumpers - to cork or not to cork
superglue neoprene rotor stops In my very unofficial and certainly unscientific testing of different materials for rotor stops, I have yet to find a material that matches good quality cork. It's easy to trim and shape, stays in place and, for me, has the best combination of firmness and suppleness. I've tried several differents kinds of rubber, neoprene, silicone and even plastic tubing. One of the materials I really liked was from rubber exhaust hangers by VW. Problem was though that it was very difficult to trim making proper alignment hard to achieve.

Re: [Hornlist] rotor bumpers - to cork or not to cork
Osmun used to sell (and they may still do) neoprene rotor stop material. I have a few inches of it in my toolkit. I prefer neoprene to cork because I once had cork rotors in my old Holton before I sold it. The cork wore out within a year. To replace it I basically bought a rubber washer kit for 99 cents at the hardware store, found a thick rubber washer that fit, and cut it into the proper length with an x-acto knife. It did the job. -William In a message dated 8/9/2005 8:46:17 A.M.
