Does anyone know the exact type of rubber grommet for an 1997 4.2 (flappy) bonnet.

These are the two little rubber grommets that the plastic bonnet pins go into which are in the bonnet itself mine are slightly perished.

Thanks

Nathan

I bought some from a well known TVR spares supplier, to go with new plastic pins from same said supplier.

Guees what?? The holes in the grommets are miles too big!
Or the nipple on the pins too small? Can't decide!

What I meant was to tell us where they could be got.

I'd ended up making some by re-using cable grommits off and old machine we had lying around.

I was just curious to know where to get the next lot.

Big thanks to SonnyLad for sorting out my grommets (so to speak) they fit a treat and have stopped some of the vertical movement of the bonnet..

So what/where did you get them, my drivers side is getting a bit tired and could do with replacing.
