Cushion pads???
I've used every search word I know to locate on Snyders the rubber cushion pads that go between the frame and the body. Mine are a bit worn and need replaced. What exactly are they called?
Thanks

Re: Cushion pads???
Unfortunatly, I have not found a supplier for correct rubber pads. The originals had fabric moulded in for strength, and the replacements are just rubber, which will squish out over time.

Re: Cushion pads???
I believe these are what I'm looking for. Some have become brittle too.

Re: Cushion pads???
You can buy small rolls of reinforced rubber belting at tractor supply or agricultural supply stores (Tractor Supply). Its about 3/16" thick, and inexpensive. You can use your old ones for patterns, and cut your own. I bought a 5 inch wide roll and have had good results.

Re: Cushion pads???
Could you not be opening up a can of worms? you're going to have to loosen body bolts to get the new rubbers in and if door and hood alignment good now it may not be after due to increased thickness of whatever you use. JMO FWIPaul in CT

Re: Cushion pads???
I have taken that into consideration. Something needs to be corrected because of the 'THUD' I get from the driver's side rear when I hit a bump. I thought a new shock would alleviate it because the old shock had lost its seal and wouldn't keep fluid topped off any longer. Nice flat surface, no problem but country roads is quite 'thudish'.

Re: Cushion pads???
What else could be causing the 'thud'?

Re: Cushion pads???
The body bolts would have to be loose to cause a thud.. the rubber helps prevent squeaks ..
Body blocks installed without rubber but tightened properly will not thud..IMO |

Re: Cushion pads???
Body blocks are solid but I'm sure she'll need to be lifted to check that. I'll get those pads anyway to have them on hand.

Bolt or bolts not tight or missing, be my guess.

Re: Cushion pads???
I thought too that it could be operator headspace but....checked all the stupid reasons that could occur from the ignorance of the owner/operator.

Re: Cushion pads???
I didn't hear anything alarming and thudish when I drove it last..
I agree with Mitch about barking up the tree about replacing the body shims. You have no idea how difficult that can be with a together car that has all fenders,aprons, etc bolted together. Gina and I may drive the 40 convert up to Brussels tomorrow and meet you for lunch, and I'll test drive Sarah. ( did I say test drive another guys girl ?) Wow! OK back to reality.... stop hitting all the holes and bumps in the road. It's still a Model A you know that is going to have some rattles and stuff. It helps to keep you awake while driving! Thanks Mitch for the input and Ed... maybe see you tomorrow. Larry |

Re: Cushion pads???
See ya tomorrow Larry and....I did find the problem, I think. Did I solve the problem, not entirely!!! I did have loose body block bolts as Mitch suggested but I could only tighten them so much since I can't get the wrench on the bolt top and...I have two back body blocks missing, one on each side, farthest back. I try to avoid potholes or dips as much as I can, if I lived in StL the thudding would only come bullets, some of the thudding has subsided though but not all.
I'm sure that will all be corrected next Winter when you do an off the frame total restoration so she can become a show car and I can compete with Mitch!!!!!

Re: Cushion pads???
They are all OK Paul, replaced all shocks, arms and links just last month. Taking her out today, I'll see if tightening the block bolts helped a bit. I'm having lunch with the Thud Specialist. The thud has always been there, just seems it is far more noticeable now.
