But my '67 didn't have paper shims around the tube either, when I 
disassembled it.  I remember now, after a jog from Chuck, that there was an 
electrical 
tape type of material around the early rack I reconditioned and installed on my 
'79 last year.  I wasn't sure what it was, but replaced it with pieces of 
rubber inner tube that I cut to fit.
