inner fender mounting

[57 imposter]

where the inner fender mounts to the fire wall, there was originally a rubber mount. mine were so shot that I couldn't get any useable dimensions off of them. has anyone found a source for these or determined the correct dia. and thickness so they can be made? I have checked Dennis carpenter etc. but so far ,no luck.  Thanks

Of the three 57s I have taken apart one had round pads (TX built), one had square pads (don't remember) and my Ranchero has none (San Diego).  Both the round and square pads were about 1/8" thick where they were'nt squished down.  Look at a piece of tire side wall or conveyor belt to fab replacements.

I used a piece of a truck mudflap, no squeaking or creaking.

This subject was thouroughly threshed this spring but evidently not enough.

Not that this subject hasn't been beat to death but I am starting assembly.  Kind of like Christmas, I'm getting out boxes of parts that have been accumulating for years.  The Steele Rubber Products box had a package of pads for the inner fender to cowl (firewall).  The part number is 20-1865-45.
