Title: Fork stop bumpers
Post by: rob w on May 08, 2003, 11:18:47 PM
Progress report: Went back to square one, decided the proper way to reproduce the bumpers would be to cast them in a mold just as the originals. Figured, if you're going to do it, they might as well look and feel like the real thing.
So, I'm finished with making the mold, I made it out of aluminum to do 11 pcs. at a time. Now I have to buy liquid polyurethane from "Thermocast", you can change the hardness of the urethane by using different mixtures. So, with some time (2-3 weeks) for development, I should be able to come up with a good batch of bumpers.
 Thanks.
