Hi Ian

I made my own rubber washers for my C60S, I had a hint as to how to make them though when I took my truck apart. When I looked at the original rubber mounts on my truck, noted that they were made out of layers cut from tires. Apparantly cut from the side walls of tires, now we know what one of the uses they made of all those tires collected in rubber drives during WWII.

They were easy to make just took a hole saw of the correct size and cut out rubber donuts from the side walls of tires. Then drilled the center bolt hole on the drill press. Found that bias ply non-steel belted tires worked best.

Enjoy your restoration keep us posted on progress.

Cheers Phil
