Rear Spring isolator alternatives

Anyone have an alternative to the Mazda part:

28-0400-FB01


https://www.mazdaswag.com/v-1988-mazda-rx-7--convertible--1-3l-r2-gas/suspension--rear-suspension?srsltid=AfmBOoqY5u-TsaNVEeNcFgMua5tbxiqxe3qkashP-fsapEDjNQzrPSmK

#5 in the diagram.
im redoing my suspension, but that part is backordered until January.

I’ve got the racing beat springs, and Kyb Agx adjustable shocks, and I can’t seem to find any alternative to that part. I’m not sure the current isolator will survive disassembly, so if anyone knows an aftermarket equivalent that will fit the racing beat springs I’d appreciate the help!

Atkins shows they have it in stock... FB01-28-040

if that doesn't work, Mercedes has stuff like that, they do different thicknesses to set ride heights

I emailed them and they don’t have it in stock.

do you know the size of the springs? I guess the alternative people would use is what I’m after.

Check with KYB, my OEM shocks came with the spring isolators. They might have a separate part# available if you ask. Best wishes.
