Yea.   I sort of thought they were something like that, just not bonded to the discs.

As a sidenote: does anyone know where to get the airlock fasteners for John Deere sheet metal? I need the "female" half of a fastener. I have one that's just trashed and the male part won't grab it.

I checked the price at my dealer, it was $92, so I wasn't going to do that.  I ordered a reproduction for around $30.  The reproductions have white rubber disks which I didn't think was going to work, but I installed it anyway, and I was right.  It held ok but just felt bad.  I took it back out and the rubber was balling up and peeling off of the face of the disks.  I took my original plate and cut out disks from brake pad material and glued them on myself.  Now it feels smooth and holds like it should.  If anybody wants my reproduction rubber one (JD #AA6077R) I will give it to you.

Tightening the throttle as far as I could would not bring that notch up to the roll pin. With fresh cork, I could get that notch there with no problem. The throttle acts wonderful now.
