Fixing 8" disk hubs

I was looking for hub protectors using Google and coming up with nada. My daughter uses this adhesive-backed high-density foam that's about 1/16" thick for various craft projects. I was going to try that before you IDed the diskette idea. I pressed down on the top hub while the spindle was spinning and the gap is somewhere between 1/32" and 1/16". How much slippage is necessary on the hub? -----Original Message----- From: cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Fred Cisin Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 10:07 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Fixing 8" disk hubs On Wed, 1 Mar 2006, Richard A.

Howzbout: take a dead 8" diskette, cut out the center, and cement it to the spindle hub, to extend it slightly?
