need help with mono spring issue
Hi Everyone,
I am working on restoring a 1981 vette and it has the composite monospring in the rear. I have taken the car down to the frame and am building it back up. The issue I have run into is when I took the monospring off, it had a rubber cushion on both the top and bottom (center) of the spring where it mounts to the differential. This rubber was in really bad shape and at the time I just figured that I would replace them with new ones but I can't find replacements anywhere. The only thing I can find are the cushions that go on each end of the spring where it bolts to the trailing arms. Anyone know where I can find the cushions that go in the middle of the spring? Is there a way I can create my own? Anyone have an extra set of these cushions that they would be willing to part with? Anything helps, thanks everyone

The ones I use for our composite springs can be made to fit the OE springs. Let me know if I can help.

P.S. I am going to Carlisle tomorrow, so you won't catch me at the office until next week.
