We had gum rubber on the end of our wings last year too. I would imagine yours would be a similar application as far as attaching goes. We cut the gum rubber out with a whole saw and there was a little hole in the middle because of thise. all we did from there was take our little gum rubber whole and a bolt with a flushable alan head on it and screwed it in tight enough so that you could only feel the gum rubber fom the surface. The bolt was indented into the gum rubber. Just watch how much pressure you put on the gum rubber. Ours popped off almost every match. We ended up using nylon slides instead because there was no need for grip in our application. PM Cliff if you would like to see a drawing he can find one i hope, or make one. Sorry Cliff i am not so proficient in CAD.
