clutch pads for SVP TrueTrack

Hey, I recently bought a used Orion SVP with the truetrack motors, and I have a problem. I had noticed that the manual clutch assembly is a little "gummy" on both drive, and this evening I figured out what it was. The rubber pad that rides between the clutch mounting nut and the gear is all gummed up and is deteriorating. Does anybody know where I can get replacement pads? I've dug through Orion's website, and have looked at the original manual that came with the mount, as well as the truetrack manual on Orion's site, and I can't find a reference anywhere to this pad. It looks like somewhat like a flattened O-ring, but it's obviously NOT an O-ring.

If anyone has any information or advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dow

I've had good luck replacing worn clutch pads
with home made ones cut from leather or chamois.
The synthetic chamois they sell for
washing / drying cars work very well, too.

You can also pick up sheets of gasket material (rubber, rubber impregnated cork, cork, fiber, etc)at auto parts stores and cut your own.

Well, I picked up some gasket material at the auto parts store yesterday, and it worked great. Thanks again for the suggestions.
