Leaf spring liner material

What can I use or where would I get the material used between the leafs on leaf springs. I have searched here and google and not finding much, lots of debate

Just to clarify are you talking about the spacer/isolators between the leaves at the U bolt area or the slider pads near the leaf ends that keep the squeaks away?

Spacer/shim that goes between the leafs that the center pin goes through. Not the ones on the end.
I found a roll of plastic material with a lip on each side for leaf springs for around $15 for 20' roll. Would this be the right stuff.

Search member "housedad"s past posts, I am pretty sure he has listed the correct material for the spacers as well as the nylon end sliders, I'll do some looking too.

Edit; Or you could call Junior at ATS Spring who not only has them on hand but he also types faster than me!
