Hi guys.
I'm moving along on a full rebuild of my 1970 xs1. I went to tighten the cam chain using the tensioner and I noticed a lot more travel then I was used to seeing. So I backed off the tensioner and removed the whole assembly. My cam chain tensioner is a type A. The rubber cushion dampener block between the tensioner and the push rod had cracked from old age. I need a new cushion. Where can I find a replacement? I think I could carve a new one out of some urithane if I had to. Just don't have any idea what derometer the original rubber is or where to get urethane.
