This disc provides most of the friction when rotating a small lever such as a flaps lever. Nitrile bonded is preferred as normal cork is prone to squeaking.

Supplier Links

I found a supplier on eBay in the UK. There should be other similar suppliers around the world otherwise purchase some 1.5mm nitrile bonded cork with self adhesive backing and cut out an 18mm disc.

Substitutions

Try to avoid normal cork but if its your only option you could try it. A thickness of 2mm is often too much for certain uses so be sure to find 1.5mm thickness.
