I may have asked this before, but does anyone have a source for replacement rubber inserts (item 5 in diagram) for the small rear hub fitted on some smaller models?

A friend of mine has bought a 3D printer to make impossible to find rubber parts for his 3 1/2 Moto Morini. He has posted on UTube. Might be interesting to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LuM6UCOEsA

At Italian autojumbles there are vendors displaying all sorts of obscure rubber parts and consulting old catalogs. Many parts are made by the Ariete, an Italian consumer products manufacturer. https://www.ariete.com/

The web homepage lists a catalog and a spare parts section that can be accessed by search word. Perhaps entering the part name or searching the general catalog will help? Alternatively you may email them for help. Good luck.

Found them on the Ariete website although the search facility is not great.
For the moment I’ve turned them over which presents a fresh side to the spigots on the sprocket so we’ll see how that goes.
I’ll need a sprocket one day I suppose so the Ariete website usefully told me it’s a Grimeca hub.

Yes, interesting to watch but my CAD skills are a bit rusty and I’m not sure whether the materials available for 3D printing would be suitable in this application?
