1941-47 Clipper, 1948-50 tub rear axle rebound bumpers

$14 shipping and they're yours. Replaced them with new Steele reproductions, $135/pair plus shipping.
Then studied my originals. Per Brit restorers, learnt to boil rubber parts that are not dried out or cracked 15-20 minutes, dry them, anoint them with glycerin from Rite Aid, CVS, etc.
Nice enough to reuse. Will also include the four radiator mounting pads, tho' you can probably use shock absorber bushings/donuts, etc. Steele wants $97 + shipping for those four.
Steele's a good, vital outfit. But dislike discarding still serviceable items. After all, having a Packard is contrary to our disposable society.
