Bill

Thanks for the post on sorbothane. I checked the McMater-Carr website and
they have a number of options for sorbothane. Would you kindly let me know
the particulars on your unit: 1. size 2. durometer 3. thickness and 4.
tensile strength. These are the variable options needed to order sorbothane
from them. Thanks in advance.
