Landing Gear - Rubber Bumpers

[andrewrichards]

Looks like my S1 has some other issues. This time it appears that the rubber bumpers are missing so it is metal on metal and has a toe in camber as a result. Would not recommend the person that did the pre-purchase!
I have looked at the S1 plans which calls for 1" x 3" x 3/4" Rubber 70 duro. I have no idea what a duro is, I am assuming it is the hardness. Does anyone know a rubber source or a better option for the bumpers? Would a machined nylon or delrin block do the trick or does it need to be springy?
