hiya Mal, have you tried rare spares yet. im pretty sure they still put these out, or looking at the amount you're after are you chasing 2nd hand ones??

or is this just a typo?

Hello Mal
             As far as I know there are only four rubber insulators , two per side on the springs. One on the top and one on the bottom. looking at your  thread and the amount of insulators you'r after I'm thinking you might be after the plastic inserts that go between the leaf springs to stop abrasive wear from spring to spring ?
  If your after the plastic bits I can't help but If you need the rubber inserts than have a look on e - bay as there are a few business that make repro items to suit.
  One that comes to mind is Minowi Systems ??. for sale at about $40.00 for a set of four plus postage. I used them for shackle rubbers and all went very smooth.
                                  Brad.

Have you got a picture, Mal?
I have a pile of NOS suspension stuff & there are a few little flat, rectangle shaped plastic things, I had assumed where for suspension. They have a little lip each side IIRC.

Rob this is correct, they are spring width and about 3 inches long with a lip on each side and a button in the middle.  There are FJ, FC and EK ones and they are all different widths so you have to make sure they are the correct ones for FC.
The FC part number is 7408981 and there are 6 per spring
