Here's a link to some [somewhat expensive] white rubber you might want to consider: http://www.mcmaster.com/nav/enter.asp?pagenum=3275 Item #86795K77 is probably what you want. |

They're about the same hardness as a car tire. At $6.60 per foot it might be more than you wanted to spend but would probably be the next best thing to the real rings, and probably cheaper than brand new rings. --- End quote --- I have a chunk of that material on the floor next to me (left over from a different project). Nice stuff, but by time you did all the rings you needed you'd be into it for close to $200 and you'd still need to piece it for the larger ones or cut lengthwise from a much larger sheet (even more money) Like Brad said above, the black is cheaper and might be a better way to go , if you don't mind the black rings.

With the plastic rings, it looks like the problem was with me not using a heat gun to form it, so it was overstressed big time. I will say if you are going to go with plastic rings, go with plastic balls from Happs. They are the same price right now as the wooden ones, and when I weighed them the weight is the same. Here are the pics of the day... Yellow plastic cover with clear ball cutout. I had to trim some on the inside of the wood to get the overhang of the plexi to fit flush down onto the wood, so it didn't have a hump right where the 9th ball window is. Front cover. The sides will be done either with a custom stainless piece or if possible, original covers. End of ramp plastic cover. Brad |

The shelf for the monitor/marque is now in place, along with a back cover. You can see the broken ring here. Back cover, from the back, Overall view of ramp. I will be covering this with another thin cork layer and painting the cork. Brad |
