I don't
think an O-ring is very suitable here, you want
something with a rectangluar cross-section.
Does it have to be? Though I suppose I need something that's solid and not
liable to shift around so the speed of the drive will be constant. There's a car interior restorer just down the road
from here - they might
know, though with a name like 'northumbrian leather interiors' they might
not :)
Thinks... There used to be a company called 'Eastwood Tools' somewhere
near Bristol (Yate???). They're the sort of place that would have stocked
it. Dunno if they're still around, though.
This is a full-size platten, in 2 parts, with
differential
gearing between them (to keep the paper running straight!).
Should be 'interesting' to repair...
Ick - sounds like fun!
