First post!

I recently bought an old Pentax KM which is in dire need of a mirror damper replacement. Can someone help me with the measurements of the mirror damper?

Thanks this is very appreciated.

I think so. It is the foam cushion that the mirror hits everytime the shutter is released. Is that it?

Yes, that's what I gave you the dimensions for. You can get the material from jon_goodman@yahoo.com if you don't already have it
