Mr B, BOO pointed me elsewhere for a different style string stopper that mounts on a straight shank. A ball is not easy for everyone to fashion on a shaft. Here is how that string stopper would be fashioned.
January 30; THIS SKETCH WAS A PROTOTYPE IDEA. THE PHOTO SHOWN ON PAGE#3 OF THIS THREAD IS MUCH BETTER -for reasons later noted.
The string on my Matrix 355 is dead-center on the riser hole. My pin gauge indicates a .310 receptacle hole in the riser/yoke. The stopper/bumper requires a 3/8 rod (.375) so the rod has to be turned down on the riser end. A drum of undetermined diameter and length would slide over the 3/8 rod. As I understand it with the bumper slid over the 3/8 rod and the .310 rod slid into the hole on the riser the bumper must contact the drum (ledge) and be bottomed-out on the rod. Thus, the impact is distributed over the bumper's face and base at the same time.
I am now thinking that a Delrin rod might be turned to make a one piece unit
, or a drum over the metal rod could be as simple as a few washers over the rod.
The set screw keeps the assembly locked into the riser.
I think I read somewhere that BOO said a penny should fit between the string and the bumper when adjusted properly..
Hope that helps Mr B
