These clamps hold these four exhaust “silencers” in place under the seat. I thought I would dismantle the rear end for a clean up and sense this might be the moment to replace the twenty-five year old rubber things that have had a tough life. Does anyone know what they are called and better still, where to find a roll (?) of the stuff?
Sure. Rubber things. HTH No idea where you can get a roll of it though. Red rubber grease would prolong the life of said rubber things though.
A minute in some hot water will soften the rubber nicely just before refitting, should make them like new (for a while anyway)
25% oil of Wintergreen mixed with 75% Alcohol. Leave your rubber in that for a few hours to a couple of days and it will soften it nicely.
They look great, especially the shiny, new brackets and I am tempted to replace the old brackets if I can find the right size.
