Question about slipper pads

OK so I some how warped my stock 64t spur and stripped my 56t spur. I am ordering the metal 64t spur in a day or so. But can't find do slipper pads. I would peel off the old ones but they just want to fall apart so they are staying. So my question is what can I use to replace the clutch pads with a diy solution from what I might have laying around the house.
 
a piece of car's gasket or you could use some glue to glue the slipper pad back to your new spur? ( but I could be wrong ) someone more experience may chime in though ;-)

If you don't want it to slip, use self adhesive sand paper. It will lock it up solid.

OK so did this yesterday for a comp. Couldn't get it to lock. It did OK but slipped in wrong places. Made through the day but gonna figure a way to lock it down kinda make my own slipper eliminator. See how it goes
 
Axial part number AX31243. Aluminum, will last much longer, unaffected by water, the paper slipper is unreliable at best.

That's an Axial Yeti XL part... (?)

Edit: saw your other post in the Bomber thread.... gotcha! Same size - great idea!

Was the sandpaper thick enough to stick above the ridges on the slopper pad ?[/B]

It appeared to be thick enough when I did it, when I got home and tore it apart only the very inner and outer edges on the sand paper were worn, so I cut two more pieces to make it thicker and it seemed to work really good but I let it sit while I worked on my backyard course and fired it up to give the course a run and it slipped worse. Don't know what happened to it then but haven't had a chance to work on it or tear into it to look. Gonna look into the yeti slipper like the the poster I think it was screamer mentioned.
