Slabbie Clock Cushions

[mick-ne]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a supplier for the foam clock cushions, I have seen a post here where someone used rubbers but I would like to buy the foams if possible.

Cheers

That Aussie in CMM was making them. Jeff Ware, I think. He was also making the perforated silencer heat shields in stainless.

I've seen clock foam cushions on WeBike, pretty sure I've seen slabbie and RR/RK ones.

A Japanese company called mtec may be able to help you, please check their website once.

Can’t you get someone to make a template of an existing one for you then make your own from from sticky backed race seat foam ?

Have you any idea where to find these Toni.

I looked on his facebook page but nothing I can see.

Thanks

I had thought about that but I think it might be a bit of a mission getting it round

Cutting a clean hole in high density foam is quite straightforward. You do need a peice of metal or plastic tube with the same o/d as the i/d of the hole required. If you put a sharp edge on the inside of the pipe with a dremel, then slowly rotating the edge of the pipe on the foam whilst exerting slight downward pressure results in a nice clean hole. You have to take your time doing this though as going at it like a bull-in-a-china shop will result in failure (but that's the same for most things) .

Thanks for that Dezza I feel a bit better about having a go now

He did advertise these at one point, in CMM. Just send him a DM?

If someone on here has one that they can scan or take a proper photo of + a couple of measures, it would be a case of 10 minutes to do a vector file drawing of it which could then be sent to a laser cutting company that work with neoprene foams
