Has anyone ever made there own gasket to replace the Cork gasket that provides friction on the hydraulic control handle? I need one a new one by tomorrow morning and forgot to order it. I was hoping I could make my own out of some other material.

Matt,

Use the fiber gasket material described by Rob. It'll last a LOT longer than cork and work just as well. The dimensions are 3" d. with a 5/8" hole in the center. I've replaced both my '47 2Ns and my '50 8Ns friction plate, and am happy with the gasket material.

Good luck!

Ron

 I had no gasket in there at all. in reply to MattMO, 09-24-2004 08:14:22  
I sized 2 pieces of 1/32" rubber fiber gasket material (gray stiff stuff). Then I laminated them with contact cement to make a 1/16" disk. If I had known it was cork to begin with I would have used that. I had the material...

I've cut my own cork gaskets from sheet cork from both hobby stores.. and cork gasket( rubber impregnated ) from the auto store, as well as paper gaskets fro auto gasket paper.. and rubber gaskets ( innertube ).. leather ( tandy leather company.. gotta love scrap leather.. ). I've had decent success.

cork/rubber impregnated will hold up better to friction than native cork sheets.. a newphrene would make a decent friction material as well. At my audio gig.. we replace work rubber friction discs in microphone 'boom' stands with neophrene discs that we cut ourselves from large sheets.
