Clock backing foam.... Anyone made templates?
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 8:08 pm
I am re-furbing my Z1000 A2 clocks. I have some foam which is suitable, just wondering if anyone has made templates for the four little pieces?

Steve. I have a NOS clock bracket. (Yours FOC)
Not sure if it's gen or kawasaki style but I can supply a label.

Hi Steve,
I donated the template and foam for Z1B clock foam to someone else on here (FOC)
I may still have a template copy somewhere if no-one else has it to hand.
It is for Z1 - does 1000 A2 have the same bracket and foam?? I'm not sure.
PM me if you want me to have a hunt for the template.
If I find it you can have it posted out (FOC)

I have a new repro gauge mount here...can copy the shape of the foam on that if you want?

Many thanks for all the offers of help. tlc is supplying me with the complete bracket, that I will use to make a template. With a bit of luck I'll be able to save it as a pdf for future reference.

That'd be great Phil.

These were made and distributed by one of the members on here! who kindly sent me a set so I cannot claim credit really.
I scanned these on an an a4 printer. Hope they help.
p.s. where did you get the foam from?
(The holes were done with a punch but not all the way through hence the raggedy holes but they are in the right place.)

Thanks Phil. If I can print that at the right size I'll be sorted.
Foam came from a small stand at Uttoxeter a couple of years ago. It's more of a self adhesive neoprene than foam, apparently good for making gaskets too.
