Hi all.

I ran across a S&S L (1967) today that had really loud thump 
when the dampers come back to rest. At one point, I had 
enough spring tension on that part of the trap work that I 
could barely press down on the pedal, but the thump was 
gone!..obviously not the correct fix.

I'm thinking that the only fix for this is to change out the 
damper felt.

Are there any other thoughts? I appreciate them.
