Rubber Feet needed
I have a vintage WearEver cast aluminum citrus juicer needing replacement rubber feet. The originals were a 7/16" (.4375) diameter shoulder that fit into the base hole by 1/4" (.25) and the upper pad part is an additional 1/4" higher that steps up to a 1/2" (.5) pad diameter. This mfger is out of business and I am looking for a source that may have a workable solution for replacements.

Not hard to cut a shoulder on them - I do so for my cane (tips) - and readily available at Ace Hardware, Maybe Lowes/HD too. Actually, you probably wouldn't need to make a shoulder. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

I'd look for them at Lowes in the hardware section where they have drawers of specialty fasteners, spacers, etc. I think I've seen them there. Or could try online, Ebay, etc. |

Unless they serve some other purpose than just "feet" why do they have to be the exact size and shape? Silicon adhesive, such as Dow 732, should hold just about any "foot" onto the base. http://www.mcmaster.com/#dow-corning...alants/=g3bm9o |

Local Ace has several drawers in the specialty hardware section of bumpers/feet of various sizes/styles...if not them locally, _somebody_ is bound to have such an assortment. If not precise match, bound to be something you can adapt (altho may require the four to get a perfect height, but that should be simple enough). -- |

A glob of silicone caulk would work nicely...just turn it upside-down, put on s.c., smooth to level the s.c., let cure. I have used it many times to make "feet" for things that might scratch furniture. My favorite trivets for hot dishes are ceramic floor tiles with little s.c. feet. |

Ive molded rubber feet from silicone and used a piece of cardboard tube for a mold. Use more silicone to glue it on. Big globs take a while to set up, maybe a week. Jimmie |

Rubber Feet needed
On eBay, search for "Rubber Push In Bumpers". Several sizes available,
eight for $1.99. I use them for kitchen appliances, lamps, and other things around the house that periodically lose their little rubber feet. "JackBNimble" wrote in message ...
