Default Bonnet rubber bumpers

Mike,

That's absolutely brilliant!!!!!!

I would never have thought of that in a million years.
I did end up buying 4 stops from our local rubber place. Then I come home, put them on................and THEN read your emai,l this evening

I would be happy to send photographs of the data plates! No worries. Ironically, I bought a new camera just 3 weeks ago, which is 14.5 mega. resolution. Hope the email will send them that size. Failing that, I could write them to a thumb disk and mail the old fashioned way.

As a matter of fact, I just put the data plates on engine cover this evening. That is not an issue, because they are screwed into position. I felt it was better to attach them to a highly visible part as opposed to putting them "in a safe place" which always gets forgotten. I had made enquiries to a couple of places in Aust. who may have been able to reproduce the plates. Only one replied, and they weren't that interested, citing the imperfections as a difficulty, and indicating it would add greatly to the cost. Something about the touching up to improve quality. Stuff 'em then
