No need for that - it's all good. The difference really has to be heard to be believed.
Regarding your method, Kim, an old variation on that is to drill a 1/4" hole vertically down through the fins, then thread 1/4" rubber tubing through the holes and finish with a length of 1/8" wire through the centre, bent over at both ends. Works really well. (On dirt-bikes, at least.)
Still, as I said, the rubber blocks are grouse. If some fall out occasionally, I've got enough rubber for hundreds more.
<edit>and the clutch noise when freewheeling with the clutch in is seriously reduced with the cardboard.</edit>
