MCM Electronics, amongst others, carries various clutch felts. I don't thik
it's so much the thickness as the density and possibly some sort of additive
to make them stiff.

=> They are felt clutches... and I tried rebuilding them with new felts...
=> no luck... I couldn't seem to get it exactly right (never found exactly
=> the right thickness). It always ended up either too little friction and
=> it ate the tape, or too much friction and it stretched the tape.
