Michael,
I looked through Street Rodder and found Posies.
This is a Street rod suspension builder and they
have teflon pads that I bought and used as the
replacement for the original cloth pads.
I used a dab of silicone in the depression at
the end of the spring to hold the new pad in
place while I assembled the spring. If I remember
right it seems like I paid about $12 for 8 of them.
