Default 2nd Gen Pinion Bumper

Anybody know where I can get the rubber snubber for the pinion on a 77 TA?

I searched all over for one...I couldn't find one listed anywhere. I ended up using a commercial industrial snubber design for a machinery stop. Found it at an industrial supply shop...where they sell bearings and other machine parts etc.

I thought years ago I even got a poly one-maybe Energy Susp.

Yeah, it mounts on the body, right? I have a poly one, might have a couple actually. It's just a 'button' on a strap as I recall.

I removed them from parts cars. I have several spares. The original one on my 76 cleaned up well with simple dish soap and silicon spray. I was quite lucky.
