Need a little help and advice (sometimes advice isn't too helpful).
My AWD 1950 Studebaker--on an S-10 frame--project is the first "body-off" effort I've done and everything is new to me. But, thanks to improving weather progress is being made and it is now time to source the spacers-cushions that are to go between the body and the frame. The original ones from the Studebaker were shaped like large dominos with a hole in the middle for the through bolt. After nearly 60 years of compression they are about 3/16 of an inch thick and are made out of some late 1940's fibrous material.
What new materials would be a better choice? Not looking for something just to take up space but to improve the ride quality and body stability. There are 14 mounting points (if I remember correctly) so cost could become a factor.
Any suggestions on materials and for sources?
Thanks in advance,
Darius
