That's exactly what I need.  I'm surprised that neither Spitbits, VB and TRF
have that part.

Thanks!

My car has two small U-shaped "bumpers" which keep the bonnet from rubbing
on the upper cowl bodywork.  Of course, I can't find it in my TRF catalog
now, which surprises me because I thought I bought replacements of these
from TRF many years ago.  But it's simple - picture a 2" length of rubber
fuel hose with a slit cut down the length.  Press over the lip of the bonnet
and Voila!  You have yourself a little bumper.  My car has only two, one at
each outer end of the lip.  Does that help at all??
