I cut ‘em out of a piece of 1/16” thick “general service” sheet gasket material I picked up at a tractor show flea market some years ago. Disks cut from stiff leather or woven conveyor belt will work too. But don’t bother making disks from inner tube and similar rubbery type materials. The “rebound action” of the rubbery stuff when you let go of the handle after making a throttle adjustment will drive you crazy!

A single disk is all that’s required for the M&W handle and for the Chinese aftermarket handle sold by Tisco, etc. No need to glue the disk to either metal surface – just drop it in loose then tighten the spring tension nut until you get the amount of drag you desire.

Note! Be sure the metal surfaces that face the friction disc are clean and absolutely oil/grease-free before assembling. If the surfaces are rusty, sandblasting them to bare metal helps a bunch.
