Putting the rubber in the freezer mite help to. However note that there are special grinding wheels available for grinding rubber.

Gotta NAPA part # handy???? Add it to the "Packard Parts X-ref" (see left as main menue) or i'll add it. PRobably need to add HH56's link posted above too.

Thanks for the very helpful info.

How did u hold the rubber to saw it???? THat has always been a problem for me. Usualy i have to find some kind of PVC or thin wall tubing that the rubber will fit to keep it from distorting as i saw it or to allow for clamping in a vice..

Also need to watch for the rubbers softness/hardness. It is measured in uniots called Durometers. There is a simple hand held hardness tester that will measure it if in doubt. Usualy i just guess at it.
