Just out of curiosity, what is a plastic rotor end/bearing? I have a 186-5U ('78 vintage) and the only thing plastic on my linkage/rotor is the nylon socket. I have taken my rotors apart before for cleaning and there is nothing plastic in there (thank goodness).

BTW, are cork or rubber bumpers quieter? My cork bumpers are plain worn out and I desperately need to replace them. Where do you get them or are they a generic thing?
