Deuxdiesel Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 You can use skateboard truck risers. They come in various thicknesses, plus you can create a larger footprint than the stock bumpers do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIsewingmachine Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Thank you! Except the riser is plastic. Do you mean the pivot donut? Edited February 12, 2022 by TDIsewingmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuxdiesel Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Sorry, my age is showing through. I guess they are called "shock pads" now, but they aren't very common. If you go on-line to McMaster-Carr, they sell lots of different thicknesses and durometers of sheet urethane. It's not cheap though. Another option to check out is equine hoof pads, which come in a huge variety of durometers, thicknesses and profiles (the ones for draught horses are like giant cant plates). Cheap too- about $10 each. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 You can use skate bushings too, just find correct height, and if not find take higher and cut to correct one. Use M6 screw and to bushing side put lock nut wrong way, that will keep busing in place. I used those on my plate setups too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhrracer Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 TDIsewingmachine, Did you ever find bumpers? I do have a set of purples for 3 degree cants that are in good condition. I am in Coachella Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
