Not available from Drake nor Carpenter. An available set would be used to have more reproductions made as these apply to many models.

The pads you refer to were most certainly on '39 - '40 wagons. They were not on '39 - '40 convertible coupes.
These pads were fairly thick - perhaps a full 1/8" They seemed to be similar, but not identical the authentic woven material used for the spring to frame pads. These body pads were saturated in some type of chemical - I am not certain what exactly. The pads Roy sold were not rubber impregnated as far as I could tell. However, it's possible I simply couldn't tell...
They (pads) were screwed in to the outriggers on each side of the frame with raven (S2) finish flat head, self tapping screws - I don't recall the size.
If one looks closely at those outriggers, one will notice the small holes specifically for that purpose.
Roy did sell these at one time. I know, as I'd purchased a few sets from him.
I think these could (for practical purposes) be easily reproduced in one's garage.
I'd suggest doubling up on the spring pads and cutting any required clearance holes for body mount bolts.
