Steering Column Bracket Rubbers

Get you some tire intertube rubber and cut you a piece.Do the same with cardboard or wrapping paper for the other as no one makes them.They haven't got that anal yet!

Just refurbishing the steering column, box, etc. On the lower bracket (3668), there is a moulded rubber pad that sits between the bracket and the bottom of the steering column. In the Ford parts manual this is listed with the lower bracket under the same part number - 3668. Anyone know where to get this replacement rubber moulding?

Also, on the upper bracket (3676), there is a paper gasket that goes between the bracket and the dash where the whole assembly bolts up. Again, in the Ford parts manual this is listed with the upper bracket under the same part number - 3676. Know where to get that one?

I'm guessing these parts are not reproduced so it will be a matter of searching for NOS ones.

Thanks for any replies.

Disregarding the reference to a posterior location, I used a piece of inner tube that I found was close match in texture and thickness to the rubber piece, and in filing the information on the rubber piece, determined that the selected folder was spectroscopically identical to the paper piece I needed so I got a different folder to put the documents in, a pair of scissors and 'viola', a paper insulator was created. What, you don't have a spectroscope? "Eyeball" it.

Bicycle inner tube is what I used as well...
