Door Hinge: Friction Pad / Check Link Solution?

[Getter-Done]

I have questions below


I have been searching the Forum and found some
old threads on this subject.
If there was some new threads I missed them


So I thought I would start this one.

If you know of one please add the link to help others in the future


#1 =There is this Reproduction Kit in the link below.

#2 NOS friction pads = hard to find

Borrowed picture from member that I have purchased many parts from. Thanks




Question #1 -
Is the Kit a decent replacement?

Question #2 -
Has anyone found a comparably material to make these out of?
I prefer not to mess with asbestous
One member on here used Nyltron.

His update was:
{The Nylatron sheet that I used in the hinges for friction pads didn’t perform as good as I wanted them to.}


Question #3:
What have you used as a successful replacement if they are missing ?

Thanks
