Scorpio Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I was thinking about picking up a set of yellow bumpers to replace my purple but thinking about it more, the TD1 is stiff as hell and am not sure the yellows would make much of a difference. I don't want to spend $30 on a new set if the difference is negligible. Anybody have experience with both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Sale Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Where would you get those bumpers? The Bomber store doesn't list any TD1 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave* Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Run some sixteenth inch rubber gasket between the disc/top plate and the bail blocks , it should " soften" them up a bit. That is what I have done the past few seasons with no probs, dont forget to add under the bummpers other wise space left. Dave* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Dave, did you have to get longer screws when you added the rubber gaskets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave* Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I managed to find some slightly longer bolts ,you might get away with stock bolts depending on hoe thick of gasket you run, check your threads for contact. Dave* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I just cut some gaskets for TD1 myself. I've managed to get 3 different materials. 0.8mm black rubber gasket, 1mm brown rubber material with fiber and 1mm cork. I'm going to try all of them this season to see how they work. I'm sure cork will be the softest of all since cork is known for absorbing vibration. I don't think I'm going to need longer screws since they are very thin. Hopefully, these won’t lead to an equipment failure . Oh well…… Here is the picture of the gaskets.... :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
