Does anyone have a suggestion for the type of glue used to join the rubber and steel components of a torsion seat assembly?

Like I mentioend in my email, there's that "double bubble" stuff that we use at work.

It's a product made by Dexter Corporation, Adhesive and Coating Systems

1-800-767-8786 or www.hysol.com

This stuff used to be made by someone else (3M ??), but the above info is right off the latest package. And no, I have no interest whatsoever in the company... ;-)

This stuff really stinks when you mix it, but it really works well on a wide variety of applications.

Gotta go teach. Hope it works for you. It has for me in a huge number of instances.

Minnkota did mine for my SC. $135 like said, plus shipping! My old ones weren't broke, just weak and rotted. I used oval head screws on mine that still passed by the seat metal, barely! Nuts to the inside near rubber. Sometimes you gotta "bite the bullet" and spend the money on some things that are hard to work on or can't be done! They have a website with pictures of the new rubbers. They are overpriced on there bushings though. I sent my old core in, with good bushings, expecting to get same back with new rubber. NO bushings in one I got, not sure if mine or not, I think probly not. I got two bushings and slipped one in the other to get right thickness. Got them from Ace Hardware in drawers of special fastners.

No answer for you, Don. I remember seeing that broken spring on your shop bench when we visited you. I was surprised how new the rubber looked and yet it was broken. All of mine(3) which developed problems were with the rubber rotting and ripping. $135 for a new one. Ouch! I have a new one waiting to rivet together for the DC. Have to buy one yet for the SC. Good to hear from you. Glenn F.

Hi Glenn; I had a split rubber also, went too a placed called Applied Technology and they had some glue for rubber but the price was a hundred and 20 dollars for a small bottle "whoa", so tried Walmart their I found a bottle Locktite Super glue that had rubber on the list,$2.50, took it home,cleaned it with some alcohol on the splits, applied a coat of the glue on each half and pressed to gather lightly in the vise overnight and its held very well every since, about two years. Now if that's an after market one it may not hold, some seem to split. Worth a try though for a small price. Roger H.

Hey Glenn,
Good to hear from you! I've got a new one on the shelf too, where did you find rivets for it? This one is just too good to throw away without at least trying to save it. How's your Dad doing? Keep warm! Don

Don, Dad is doing better. He's gotten his appetite and strengh back. The farm work is too much for him but when he can't do it he just about goes crazy He's a good guy. Few 86 year olds could keep up with him. Thanks for asking. Sounds like the Locktite suggestion would be worth trying. Glenn F.
