Right... well my little encounter with the black shiney stuff has left me with a stuffed crash bung. So I have sourced some black material to make new ones. But the smallest they sell is 0.5m. And seeing as I'm not going to need that much was wondering if someone(in my area preferably) wanted to share the costs for materials and I'll lathe up a couple. Will need a few other things bolts etc etc but that will be cheap as chips...

Just seeing cause i doubt I need more than 1 set.

CK has one and 2 other mates also have them that I have access to.

Gonna see if one of them has a knurler so I can make a new rear brake as well.

if you bought another pair, then chucked down the road again, then you'd have one spare at home...

Not that one wants to make a habit of it :lol:

Some other thread considered skateboard wheels and rubber mallets... considered those?

Probably $30 $35 tops for a set. Just to cover material cost.

Reason I say I prefer someone close is that we can custom make them for thier mountings
