Upright Damper Felt Source

I recently purchased a Yamaha set,  that is for a U3 model. I intend to put them on a nice older Heintzman.
I don't believe that it is possible in the US.
I think that their rule of only selling replacements for a legitimate # Yamaha, is stupid. What is to prevent someone giving them, a legitimate #, and using it on something else. (Hint :-) )
I attended a Bill Spurlock class, at a Convention, and he gave instruction, on making your own from scratch. It looks like the same class, is available in Nashville.

    If you find a source I am interested. Especially in pre-made longer bass dampers.
    Thanks

    Is there a source for purchasing upright damper felt (single, bichord, 
    trichord)
    in longer executions than the standard, less effective 1 3/4" lengths?

    Last year I made a set according to Spurlock's instructions with favorable 
    results.
    I have been encountering too many vertical repairs, more than I care to 
    with more
    coming looming on the horizon, and don't wish to be manufacturing these.

    A Sauter upright in my shop has a beautiful set of long dampers, most 
    effective. I will
    write to them to see if multiple sets are available from them.
