TR2/3/3A TR-3A hood spring [chrome] rubber bumper

OK-I have gotten carried away. I chromed the hood spring. I believe the spring rod should have a rubber bumper. Does anyone know of a source or has anyone found something at a hardware store they recommend?
 
Aloha,

I bought some neoprene washers from either a Lowes or Home Depot to use as a vibration isolater between the spring and mounting bracket. I also enlarged the hole in the bracket that the rod passes through so that I could insert a plastic collar for the rod to slide in.

Interesting. Mine does not have any rubber, is there supposed to be?

I don't believe so.
