I have a '71 Hornet I am reassembling and cannot find the cushions that go on top of the front coil springs.  Is there an aftermarket source or a reasonable replacement?

I have a good set from a 74 Javelin, they should be the same, as I have 70 hornet springs on my 71 Javelin.

Can send them out today... If you are interested. $15.00 shipped.

Let me go and check them out, and I will post a picture.

Here Is one of them. .. Note the whole cushion has been sprayed at one time with some coating. The coating is flaking off, but can be probably cleaned with solvent. The rubber it's self is smooth and satin like and crack free.

Oh, you may check up in the recesses of the shock tower... These stick fairly well and may still being planted into them, when you removed the springs.

I have that problem too!
Ha!

Good thing you checked... I had a feeling you would not have tossed them, and set them aside, away from the springs.

At least you know them front cushions fit 70 on up AM, not sure about pacer.
