They are about 4 inches long and 1/8 inch wide that run on the inside lip of the clamp. There are three of them on my clamp to keep it from rubbing into the platter and the vibrations down. Hope this helps.
VPI Customer Service
Recently ruined one of my self adhesive strips in my VPI stainless steel clamp. Called VPI on a tuesday and on friday received 5 strips in the mail. Its very refreshing to see a company still producing excellent customer service and the service was without charge. Want to extend my best to the crew at VPI for their excellent and expeditious work.
