Thanks Mac, I'll have a look. I do not know the type of rubber, all I do know is it dates to the late 1950's or early 1960's. I'm guessing that it's some sort of synthetic, I believe they tend to last longer than natural rubbers. The question is, which one? |

I need to find the right document, or a volunteer rubberologist. : )

You might try an "o" ring supply house where they make o rings
What they use would take pressure. Only draw back might be will it bond to your material, but I think would be similar.

O rings get stretched being put over shafts if being installed in a groove on the shaft or you can just pull on one they will take quite a bit of stretch (tension)
I've even seen some mic shock mount made of o rings, my Korby shock mount had two large o rings
But hey don't try it if you don't think it will work

I've seen O rings used in shock mounts, but here they need to have those arms connected. And most of the O rings I've had experience with tend to fail under tension if they get nicked... |
