Where do you guys get the type of felt that surrounds the pedal in a suitcase kickplate? 
Restored or Overhauled: '65 A-model Sparkletop, '78 Suitcase 73, early-'75 Satellite 88, '81 MkII Stage 73, two '77 Mk1 Stage 73's, '74 Mk1 Stage 73
In Progress: 1 '78 Suitcase (2nd one), '70 KMC - Customized w/ Peterson 4x12, '77 Wurli 270

I like to double up the red name rail felt. The red looks better than the black according to me.

Yes, almost any felt will do, but thicker is better at least at the top, in case you let go of the pedal quickly- this reduces the thumping noise.
