Default '60 windshield post spacer thickness?

Removed windshield assy this weekend to replace dash pad. Spacers missing between windshield posts and body. Anyone know thickness and material?

If you mean these:

You are best off just ordering this package -- some cars only need 1 on each side, most need two and some, like mine, need 3. This package is cheap, has the correctly shaped parts and includes enough pieces to shim things properly. Do NOT use any sealant in between layers of these rubber items...it will squeeze out and make them slide around and come out of their correct position.

No problem. I put some 'strip caulk' in between two of these shims when mounting my windshield and when I tightened the T-bolts it oozed out everywhere and made a big mess. You don't need ANYTHING in between these rubber pieces...
