Chris, I agree 80 may be a bit much and is why I suggested others might have a better idea. 80 was what was available locally back then before the days of the internet and online vendors. 60 and 70 are readily available today and might be better. No idea what the original might have been. Mine was deteriorated, separated, and what was not crumbling due to being soaked in grease was rock hard.

As to the procedure on the bottom mount, if were are speaking the same general item I think it will almost have to be poured in. Not sure how any kind of strip could be made to fill the space and be sure of a good bond to both parts. The spring is fastened to one piece and a rod like device is fastened to the other and sticks down in the middle of the spring. Rubber surrounds the inner piece and is contained by the spring as the outer housing. I wrapped tape around the spring leaving a bit of a slot to pour the liquid flexane in between the windings while the assy was laid on its side.
