Subject: [ATM] Clutch material

Hi, after all those years(35), the cork like material that was used 
between the pressure plate and the gear of my Mathis drive
is disintegrating. Things don't last anymore  :)

So what is the best material to substitute, and where can i get some ? 
Would teflon sheet be good ?
<<<

I replaced the cork material on an old Opticraft clutch assembly with a sheet of 1/16" teflon.  Thickness probably isn't critical.  Clutch now works better than original.
