No, I just got some in from my local Moss/Vicky Brit/etc distributor. I
believe they both have it and I think it was around 30 for a set of the
earlier mats (for my 67)
just checked. In the New Moss catalog it is on page 48 item #33
(409-008)($35.95)
In the Victoria British Catalog it is on page 50 Item #2 The fiber pad
set is $36.25 the Mylar is $59.95
My brother has my Claushager's on loan so I do not know which is correct
for your 72.
This should keep you going for now.
