If they're just the square pads that car and truck shop shows in their catalog, with a hole in the middle and maybe a sleeve around the bolt, it wouldn't be hard to build a mold and cast your own from polyurethane. It's available from a number of sources in 2-part form that you pour into the mold. I've rehabbed my axle and transmission mounts using that process. Silicone grease works as a mold release.

If that's the case, find some "elevator belt" in the thickness you need. Cut to size. Last stuff I worked with was some 1.5" thick 4"x4" air compressor pads. Or something like that.

Which type of poly did you use? I have experimented with a couple different types but never found anything that looked durable enough to use for mounts. I have a couple things I would like to recast.

I used Simple Resin's Enduro-Flex product for my axle mount pivots. It looks like it's back available, as it hasn't been for a while. Link
It can be tinted if you want. Their tech department sent me this info:
Add pigment at ~2% of the total mixture to the Part B side and blend. Make sure its not a water based pigment. Combine colored hardener and resin at equal weights or volumes. Mix well for 20-30 seconds scrapping sides and bottom of mix container several times throughout mixing process. Pour into cavity.

Sorry haven’t posted on this topic in a few months. I resolved the issue using suspension.com universal mounts. I had to open the frame mount from 1.125 to 1.250 . Not sure how to add a photo here , guess I need to hang out more 😂 see attached and hope this helps . Ohh yah the difference in height did not interfere with other parts of the build .
