Title: Small parts
Post by: Thunderbold on October 05, 2013, 15:12:26

Gentlemen, I am terribly sorry bothering you with insignificant issues. However, I am looking for some of the small black rubber parts the engine bonnet is resting on. Where can I get those? Regards from Hermann

I am also interested in replacement under bonnet rubber grommets / buttons, please let me know if you have a source of supply.
   I have in the past contacted a manufacture to have the item produced, but the minimum order is 100 and it was not a cheap quote.

Please see the link below for Dorman brand Body-Tite! rubber bumpers (Part # 45621).  These are being sold by Pep Boys, a U.S. auto parts store.  My Mk. IV was missing a number of these rubber bumpers found under hood and when I had my car in the shop last year, and the owner found these and installed them.  They fit perfectly and I have a compliment of them under hood now correctly supporting the hood (or bonnet if you will!) of my car.   I have the package still with this part number (45621) on it (5/8" X 1/2" ----  1.6cm X 1.27cm. I hope this helps you source this part.  I am very pleased as they fit perfectly and are very inexpensive.  If you have a difficult time sourcing these, please advise and I will help.

I looked into this a while ago and found the best people to be Mannering Ltd who supply many types of rubber product.
   They make black rubber mushroom hole plugs that need twisting in and a small drop of heat resistent adhesive but they have worked well for me and I recommend them.
