Pocket Facings for Olhausen

[Logandgriff]

I am about to have the facings on my 8 foot Olhausen replaced with 3/16 neoprene facings. My mechanic suggests 60 durometer hardness. Is that what is recommended by those who know about this fix? Thank you.

the angle is too wide on them so you get that ball rattle and hang. other wise they are great as is.
dont fix what isnt broken.

My research strongly indicates that replacing the facings reduces the problem.

I put 60d on my Diamond. I believe you find consensus in the ask a mechanic forum.
