Try quoting the part numbers to the vendors. Eg:

G740-7375023 or WO-800378, Blackout marker light mounting pad (rubber)

For reference, it's on page 163 of the M38A1 ORD 9.

Well the items I got from Midwest were infact the gasket used with the replacement indicator lens. Which may be different to what is used with the cats eye lens.

Hmmm. I thought circleburner12 meant the pad that goes between the base of the marker light and the grill. Looks like I misunderstood.

If you check the diagram on page 125 of the M38a1's ORD 9, are we talking item M or item C?

Based on the photo on MWM's website, those door seals look identical to the door seals in my marker lights. I'm using the later light units (packard connectors), so I'm not sure if the door seals were different on the early marker lights.

Try searching for the following on Fleabay (or even at your local hardware store):
Rubber feet
Rubber spacers
Rubber Washers
Rubber Ferrules

Or maybe the rubber mounts used on the M38's lower generator brackets would work.

Does anyone know what height those pads need to be?

Just thick enough to center the assembly I'd say. Maybe 3/16" to 1/4"
