Where to get cork for clutches
I don't mean purses. When looking for cork for clutches online I found
pictures of purses made from cork sheet. Uhhhhhhhgly. But that's besides the point. I have been looking online for suppliers of cork for making conical clutches. I have found suppliers from India, among other foreign sources, that will sell me pallet loads (container loads too), but I don't need that much. Not yet at least. I tried McMaster-Carr but no joy. I have found cork sheet for gaskets but I don't think I want that. I can send my clutch substrates to clutch and brake makers who also re-line clutches and have them done but this is prohibitively expensive. There are other clutch materials available but I don't know of any that have the same feel as cork. I may need to buy cork in particle form and add some sort of binder to make my own but I hope not. That would take a lot of experimenting to get the right formula. So does anyone here know where to get cork that is made for clutches? Thanks, Eric |
