Abstract:
Applicant has provided a method for making a vibration damper for damping harmonic vibrations in brake resurfacing operations made up of an elastic tube with slugs of heavy ductile material in it. The slugs are approximately the same diameter as the inside diameter of the tubing and are held in place in the tubing by frictional force or by cement. One slug is used to join the adjacent ends of the tubing. The loop formed by the tubing is placed on a brake drum or disc brake rotor during resurfacing operations. The slugs are coated with liquid cement which lubricates them to reduce friction in getting them into place. The end slug functions to hold the tube ends together and also to function as one of the weights.
