From a practical viewpoint, though admittedly untraditional, hardboard seems to work very well I've used it for some years on the rear suspension of my Moto Guzzi.

A chap I know is rebuilding a twenties Sunbeam; he is emphatic that the original damper discs should be made of wood such as beech. Andre Hartford car suspension dampers for example first used wood .....see Wikipedia etc.

Thoughts please.
