Thanks Terry.  These are the 1/2 inch square bumpers that I think Fid sent the info on the previous post. Again, thanks for the info.  I am sure to have many more enquiries in the future.  Troy

The ones Terry posted are not correct for Henry J.  The Henry J ones are rectangular.  Here's a pic

Thanks Fid.  That is exactly what I pictured in my mind.   It seems Rudy is a hard person to reach.  Any other avenues to obtain 6-7 of these?  Thx again, Troy

I've heard the best time to catch Rudy is early in AM (He's in CA) so you may want to try that.

In the event you have no luck with Rudy - he can be hard to reach - you might find something here that would be close to correct - https://www.restorationspecialties.com/PDF-Catalog_ep_43.html
