I'm looking for a set of 9.5 mm rubber rails for W520.

Thing is – I've got some from eBay for cheap and theye are more plastic than rubber and I don't like them. They also have a nasty chemical smell... (Maybe I'm weird, I know... )

Anyone got some? FRU should be 41V9756.

Hi

I have no way to check the compatibility right now, but are these the same as the ones used across the range, like in T61, Tx10, Tx20, etc? They all seem to be the same. I have several genuine branded pairs of these, so I can send you two of them for the cost of the shipping. I think they might be from T400 or T410 machines, but if they fit, it should be ok?

The same rubbers are also used in T/R/X6x and all the newer T/W/R4xx and T/W/R5xx machines with 9.5mm drives.

Ok, so the offer still stands. I need to check that mine are not 7.0 mm; pretty sure they're the 9.5 mm ones though.

Be aware that the postage from Norway to the Czech Republic might be more expensive than what "New Genuine Hard Disk Drive Rubber Rails Rail for Thinkpad 9.5mm Bay 41V9756" seem to cost on eBay. $4-5, including the shipping from China. But they might be the ones you don't like, so it's up to you. The ones I have came with a batch of used Lenovo FRU'ed hard drives I once bought, so they were pulled from actual machines.
