Trying to find another small but hard-to-find part... I bought a used pair of Calvert shocks for my '72 A-body but I don't have any of the dished washers (that go on either side of the bushings). No luck for A-body hardware on Google, and searching the chain stores for shock mount hardware doesn't come up with anything either.

What should I be looking for, and where?
thanks.

Try shops that do shock replacement and see if they some used laying around.

I can scratch a couple up in the bolt box if you want a couple of them.

Thanks! I'll take as many as you can spare... (do I need one on each side of each shock end = 8 total, or just on the outsides)?
