Years ago I found that all but one of my pads had come out on our 78 Royale. I measured the uncompressed part of that one. It was 5/16th thick. I got some of that horse pad that was 1/4th on an inch thick plus the raised ribs. That martial was slightly softer then the original pad. But then again original pad was 26 years old at that time. Plus my thought was that the softer material might deaden more sound. It's worked fine. And the road noise was greatly reduced. I didn't want to go thicker. As I was concerned about the bolted pads, and there height after all the years of being compressed. I didn't glue, of secure the new pads. No movement has been seen since.
