Parking brake pedal pad

I'm in need of a good rubber pad that goes on the parking brake foot pedal for my 88 Thunderbird.
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks Eric, I didn't think this part would be available new. I'll try one of the suggested auto parts stores. When I released the brake this morning, the pad flew off the foot pedal, it had a split down the side that has the overlap feature that grabs around the metal portion of the brake pedal.

Oh yeah…that's happened to me before. Totally understand. The Help! parts are extremely close to factory quality in my experience.

This is the cheapest I found online for a new, correct pad:

I tried the Advance website and there are a lot of Dorman parts on there, including e-brake pads, but I couldn't find the one you referenced. I was out at lunch and stopped by the local Advance store, the guy punched in the number you provided me and he said he'll have it for me tomorrow morning. $9.99 + tax. I didn't have to prepay, he wants to make sure its the right part first.
He also told me their in store data base is different than what you or I can access from our computers.
Thanks again for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
