Rubber hood buffers (bumpers)
« on: February 19, 2009, 21:57:18 »
The black ones on the raised lip above the firewall pad. There is usually three. Can someone who has these in the proper place give me two measurements?

1. How long is each piece
2. Where on the lip are they located. How ever you want to measure that one!

Thanks a bunch

1. They are 50mm each
2. Each is located so it meets one of the three support structural strengthening channels on the underside of the hood (bonnet)

Perfect Hans! I never looked at the underside of the "bonnet" that closely. Makes good sense! Thank You.
