After trying for several months to find the proper rubber plinths with no
luck, I gave in to a horrible solution.  I purchased the rubber mounting
plinths for a MG Midget.  The difference is that the Midgets are a uniform
thickness, whereas the Spitfires is kind of a wedge shape.

After putting them on my car I feel they look fine.  No one has noticed
that they are not proper. I know a couple people on the list ruled them out
feeling that they didn't fit well enough.  But they are definitely better
than the ones I had on the car.
