Default Source for bumper jack rubber bumpers?

In my current detailing quest, I am getting my original bumper jack for my '63 powder coated. I realized that many years ago, when I glass beaded the bumper hook, I lost my original rubber bumpers (which weren't in great shape at the time, if memory serves).

I've checked Metro for these, but no luck so far. Another rubber fabricator?

Obviously, I'm never going to lift my '63 Bonneville with a bumper jack again, but I'm in the process of detailing the trunk, so...

TIA

Looks like Ames #K130L may be the right one. I gleaned this info from:

Perhaps the application list should be broadened somewhat. I'll see how they fit and will follow up here or there.

While in the garage tonight, I checked the size and condition of my ‘63 Grand Prix bumpers:
Diameter- 1.35”
Width (bumper side) - .25
Total width (including nubbie)- .95”
I’ll keep my eyes open for some originals.
