If you have samples take them to Cape Town Rubber products, or Rubber Products and Mouldings. Google them for details.

They manufacture practically anything you will need in rubber.

Hi extra300s,
My one "shock absorber " self destructed a while back. Got the material from a place in JHB. The material looks like polyurathane but harder. This is the stuff they use when making the Raptor suspension. Can be bought in various lengths if i remember correctly.
Trithane
( 011 ) 835 - 1510 or 496 1625
84 Fourth Street
Booysens Reserve
JHB
trithane@iafrica.com
On my trike the "shocks " are 140mm in length,

Hope this can help you
