Default rear leaf sring pads

I cannot seem to find the square rear leaf spring plastic pads that go between the individual leafs anywhere and cannot believe that they are not reproduced. Can anyone tell me where I might find them? I need 12 for a 70 Camaro. I am sure I will be embarrassed as to how many people reproduce these but I cannot find them. Thanks in advance.
Rick

I found the ones with the round nipple but not the rectangular as shown above.

Eaton sells them directly... they are less than a dollar each.
$15 min shipping charge.

Find any good spring shop that re-arches, etc. and they will have these ... used the exactly the same on my Nova ... The TAZ
