The rubber comes with the holes pre-punched. I believe it is also good to buy a matched pair so everything is balanced nice. There are two different ply thicknesses available and are available from Shavers in Stonewall,Mb. If you give him a call, he will  fax you an up-to date price list. I asked him why he doesn't post his parts list on this site, and he said he always wanted to but he always intended to make it look like a more tidy catalogue before he did. I told him that I thought everyone on this site was just an average joe and wouldn't mind.

I was talking to a couple of owners down here last year & they never knew about NT. they told me they made up a jig to drill the holes. It was a lot of work they said. I think if they new about Dan Shavers they might have bought from him. I think it would be a great idea if he made up an online site for his products. Definitely be a bonus for him. People would look & see something in the catalog that they were trying to patch up & end up buying new from him, saving themselves a lot of extra time.
