I don't think anyone re installs them and there are far better products on the market if you wanted to install something.

just came across an article in Mini World June 2003 re: a project car rebuild.
it states "We are even fitting the original-type rubber pads between frame and body".
the picture shows a pad measuring approximately 3x5x1/4.
this is the first I have seen any reference to these pads.
I am working on a '66S.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
