Does anyone have a good idea where you can buy sheet rubber material. In my case right now im looking for some for the pads under the radiator. In the future, I'll be needing some for the tub as well. I was thinking about those rubber floor tiles or an old trucking mudflap?

You want something with fabric reinforcement, not just plain rubber. I had the same thoughts, couldn't find anything even in McMaster-Carr, and wound up just ordering the prefabbed parts from one of the vendors.

Ya I thought of that but they are usually pretty thick. At least the ones I used to have at the old house that I used for parking strips. They were 3/4"

Tractor Supply has fabric reinforced rubber belting used in rubber fences and stock yard applications.

Don't forget the PTO drive belts available at farm supply stores.

So I found out while at Tractor Supply the material to get is "Hay Baler Belting". Comes in giant rolls for about $5 to $6 dollars per foot. A variety of widths. It is the belting used on round hay balers and probably available at any agricultural equipment dealer too.

Looks just like the original rubber pads and will probably last 100 years on a jeep. Tough stuff.

Probably needs cut on a band saw and very sharp drills to puncher it or a very high tonnage press and a die.

I used some left over pickup bed floor liner. Nice compression and reinforced with nylon.

The ORD 9 calls out 1/8" material for some of the cushions and 1/4" for others. Does the belting come in both, or just the thin and you are double layering it?

Originally there was 1/8" with fabric reinforcement and a thicker 1/4" also with fabric reinforcement. Each consisted of only one hunk of material. Those thicknesses were a starting point. You determined what the actual field requirement was by rigging the tub to the frame. This often requires different thicknesses and the adjustment is made by doubling up and/or using rock hard shims.

I dropped my tub back on the M-38 this weekend. It almost appears
that my tub to frame to pedals alignment would be just fine w/o
spacers. (I havent gotten to hood/fenders/grille yet).
Question: is there any other purpose for the spacers other than
tub alignment? I suppose a guy would also have a better tub to
frame electrical ground w/o spacers.
