Handle Starting Bracket and Starting Lever Dampeners?

[malcymal]

On my Sega Handle Starting Bracket, there is the remains of some sort of dampning material (rubber maybe) so when the handle starter lever returns on to it, it shouldnt make a clang. Its so hard and rotten i can work out what it is, almost looks like tar. Was this material made of rubber or something else, cork maybe?? Im going to have a go at making a new block as i can see you undo the clamping that holds the material in place? Any suggestions on what i should use?? Thanks, Malcy

I once replaced one of those with a rubber, by which I mean an eraser (calm down everyone!)
