From member eliacona, he asked me to post this on his behalf.
No one seems to make this rubber part, not even Wolfsburg west.
At Auto Zone I found this reasonable (under $6) rubber shock and end link bushings kit, and hey! Its the closest yet..
It's rather important to have.

I know this thread is old, but does anyone have pictures of how this assembly goes together in the door? I'm putting together a '53 and have some parts along with the rod that I don't know where they go. |
