Did they have a special boot? I replaced the leading edge tape on my '72 172 not long after I got it, it was the same stuff that 'Spruce or Chief sells.

Tape is no good, won't protect against rocks. There is a rubber boot I used on my other 182 after I sufficiently dented up the leading edge.

Maybe these guys have a kit available to sell?

These guys might be worth a phone call: http://cessnadirect.com/mk182-55-01a
My long-time partner put boots on our '58 182A soon after we got it in the mid-70's. I'm fairly sure they were formed to fit the leading edge as you described. This company has been around for quite a while, so this could be where he got them. It's been a long time, mileage may vary.
