Ok, I will throw this out and see what I reel in:

On some of the old home-builts, from the 20's, and 30"s, had rubber discs on their shock struts. Not much info, in the old plans.
I would like to know what they used. I have dimensions, but no reference to materials used (except the Corben Ace plans, but that leads to a dead end).

I need/want/desire a disc of 2-2.25" diameter, a bore of .88-.90", and a thickness between 3/8" and 1/2". Prefer a durometer of 30-40.

Thoughts? Hints? Suggestions?
