steady bearing cushions

[Deleted User]

Does anyone know of a modern replacement for the two little rubber cushions in a stepdown driveshaft steady bearing ?? ( '53 Hornet )



I got a couple from Finning yesterday which did work, but they were a little short in length, a little larger in diameter, and the studs were 3/8 instad of 5/16. I made them the right length with some fender washers as spacers, the 1 5/8 diameter didn't bother anything, and I drilled out the mounting holes to 3/8. These worked fine, but surely somewhere one can get exact, drop 'em in replacements that are the same as the old ones. I need a few more sets of two, so might as well find the right ones.



Anyone know where, and/or have a part #. ??

For some reason I can't get the "post reply" icon to work, but the quote box will do for now.



I was pretty sure that Kgap would be able to bail me out on this one, but needed the parts right away to prepare for a show this weekend, so no time to order them.



Now that I've got the car mobile with the Finning parts, I'll order a bunch of these from Kgap, and put them on this winter when the car dosen't get so much road time.



Thanks for the reminder about Kgap. Do they have an online catalogue available yet ??
