Sorry for double post but you can make your own if you have the skill but at that price just easy to buy then fit

Robbie buy some 40x what ever thickness you want your packers to be steel flat . Cut to length and drill 14 mm holes and you have your packers.
You will need sets of 4 if you use this method
Remove 1 bolt and buy new bolts the length of the original plus the thickness of your packers
Tools needed vice, hacksaw and drill

You are going to cut through 12mm steel with a hacksaw??? :shock:

Better invest in some shares with the blade company...
