No news from my water jet person, I've sent him another email to remind him.

He does cut rubber Ken but not on a water jet or laser cutter, he has a very high tec cutting machine. Apparently you shouldn't cut the modern rubber products on a laser cutter due to the very toxic fumes it gives off.

Oddjob:
Cannot he not cut the rubbers for you then?

Laverda Dave:
He maybe able to do that Ken which is why Max will need to contact him and send him one of his cush drive rubbers that he has made. Martin can assess what will be possible from this. I do know he doesn't have any 10mm thickness viton and will have to source some but it will depend on how much is required and this may be the hurdle Max has come across, manufacturers are not keen to only supply a small piece of a material they have to gear up to produce and are potentially left with unsold stock. It also has to be remembered my BIL is running a business and at the moment he is running absolutely flat out. He is though willing to help if he can and if he can't do it I doubt if anyone can given his knowledge of the industry.

Oddjob:
It would be great if he could also produce some for the 500/550 clutch hubs as well Dave, unfortunately they ain't the same as the 400 ones, plus the only ones I've got are old ones and it needs to be made to fit the hub etc. I could send him the relevant pieces though if that would help.

I can get the 10mm Viton if he's struggling.
