I am rebuilding a postwar Lionel 44/45 missile launcher mechanism, and need to replace the rubber-like pad that is inside the mechanism. It acts to cushion the end of travel for the individual launchers.
The original piece is falling apart.
What do other folks use for a cushioning material?
While I am asking, there is also a foam piece that is attached to the chassis underneath the launch mechanism to help push the latches into place. In the past I have used thin foam weather stripping of a similar size. What do folks use to replace this?
