Has anyone bought these without having to buy the whole spring kit?
 
I dropped the differential and the rubber rectangular cushions are toast.
 
I have looked in several on line catalogs to no avail.
 
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have yet to find them advertised anywhere, either. Don't know if they are only available with the spring, or what. I have found the bottom plate, and the spacers available...just not the insulator....weird.
I would suggest calling Larry, too.

[/QUOTE] Rick, you could check with VanSteel or Vette Brakes and Products, but it's easier and faster to make your own. Good luck...it's easy!
