Years ago I got a front spring packer from a well known supplier in Kirkby Wiske. When he slammed it on the counter with the other parts I commented that it looked like a piece of 1/4" plywood that had been painted white with emulsion paint. That is exactly what it was. I fitted it and it simply compressed to nothing. It wasn't even decent plywood. Since then I have used a piece of 3mm thick plastic (Foamex) for the packers and it has proved to be very good.
