Metal that is 1/4 inch thick will work well for the round grommet # A55GB. There isn't a specific metal thickness requirement for the grommet since the light pushing against it when installed is what holds the whole assembly in place.

Hey Jason, it's pretty common for replacement leaf springs to be slightly shorter than what they replace as springs tend to stretch/flatten overtime as they wear out so while you are on the right track 3/4 of an inch is a bit too much of a…
