Rubber baby buggy bumpers . . . say that three times fast. Just kidding, of course. On a serious note, the rubber bumpers for the hood support at the locking mechanism, what's my best source? I need a pair (this isn't Tootsie but hers are missing).

John, part #UB12425 is still available from all the usual suspects.

Hi John

I had no idea these rubber baby buggy bumpers existed. I've just checked and they are missing from my car. I thought the holes were part of the RR philosophy of shaving every gram of weight from the car.

Kelly - thanks for the link.

FS will wonder why they have suddenly had a rush of orders for these grommets.

John,

It's always a contest as to who's going to have bits like this for the most reasonable cost when you include shipping. Albers had them for $1.60 each back in 2007 when I bought my replacements. I've also bought odd bits like this from Rolls-Royce dealerships, but that was "near to the split" and they'd most likely be in someone's "NOS" bin at a Bentley dealership now, since Bentley has responsibility for all of the legacy cars (read, pre-Goodwood, so up through the Seraph/Arnage era).
