Axle pads for 1949 Hudson

Anyone know if I can buy the axle pads that are welded to the stock axle housing?I need them for my new rear end and would hate to cut up this housing. Thanks.

FYI

Axle Spring Pads or 'Spring
Perches'...

Ok thanks that is what I searched but that won't work. The Hudson's are angled in to the center to match the springs angle

A little work with a hand grinder can correct the angle. Use the originals for a pattern.

Grind more on curve to fit spring perches until they are angled same as springs.
