Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2017 12:37 pm Post subject: Replacing metal case bumpers |
|
|
In a Curta metal case, I understand that in the bottom there should be a foam/rubber bumper and a small one in the lid of the case. Mine has these missing, with some old tissue paper in there instead.
I wanted to put something back in there to protect the Curta in its case.
Does anyone know the material thickness and/or diameters of these two bumpers ?
Hoping you can help! Ricky. _________________ "CALL, O CURTA!" |

Not sure about the size, but I think kitchen sponge should do the job ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) |

For my Curtas I use felt pads
[ for Curta Type I diameter is 56mm, 5mm thick - and 16mm diameter, 3.5mm thick - self adhesive, two of them ]
see also here:
red restoration
the small pads: Filzgleiter 16mm
(you have to search for the 5mm felt material - I have no reference available at the moment) _________________ :: m u r f f
