- Yeah, those pan tops will rattle like hell with out that felt pad. Had a buddy forget to put them in when he did his rebuild, sounded terrible. By: Guest on: 5-13-2011
- As has already been said "they are noise dampeners.Most times they,come loose and fall on top of you're rockers,takes the right adhesive to hold 'em.They're usually used on tin covers,thick aluminum(1/4")tend to damper the rattle due to their construction.Check the swap meets or Randy Smith's old company,for the old finned version.I've ran the same set for decades,customcycleengineering.com By: brokeknee on: 7-18-2011
