We need a really smart and motivated guy for this.

Mopar faithful: I've had this idea for a small but important product that the Mopar world has needed for years. All of the vintage Mopars that I've owned over the years have that awful piece of felt on the bumper jack mount that the jack mast rests on. The bracket that the jack rests on is thin sheet metal, but the felt is about 1/2" across, and is always falling off. How about this: Some really smart guy or gal invents a rubber bumper that replaces this crummy piece of felt. The bumper would be soft rubber with a channel in it that would slide down over the jack mounting bracket. This rubber bumper would have a wide flat mounting surface that the jack mast would rest on, and this surface would be angled downward so that the mast rests flat against it when the mast is mounted in the trunk and fastened in place with the jack spring. This permanently eliminates the felt strip that is ALWAYS falling off. Whaddya think?

How many different A bodies will it work on and how many members want the stock felt?? Those would be questions I would ask before going into full production, otherwise it sounds like a good idea.

Sounds like a great idea & an easy fix to a very common problem. (How many "A" Bodies have this piece still in place? Not too many I'll bet.) It was a cheap set up from the factory to save a few bucks & didn't last long. I say make it, & MOPAR guys will buy it, but the price MUST be reasonable.

I used a piece of black 5/8" heater hose, I cut it to length, slit it & then made cuts so it sat in the metal saddle. It worked great when I had street cars, now with the bracket car, I don't need a bumper jack. LOL

I kinda did the same thing when I had my Dusters. Kept the jack from making any noise. Slit vacuum hose, glued in place worked great.

I bought felt sheet from mcmaster carr, its cheap. Self adhesive.

I just re-applied some spray glue to the felt, like the factory did.
