RUBBER MOTOR COMPARTMENT STOPS
Hello all I am new to this forum. I have recently purchased a 1977 F30. I am looking to replace the little rubber stops that go underneath the engine compartment covers to absorb the vibrations and leave the fiberglass snug to the floor. I am hoping i make myself clear on what i am looking for and if not please let me know and i can explain it more. thanx and lots of great info on her.

If you can get the dimensions of what you need to replace, you might be able to find something at Home Depot, or some other supplier like these guys http://raydarrubber.com/products-page/
I just googled 'rubber bumper stops'. I have also seen similar gizmos as door stops (for the door knob to butt against), and on the tail end of pool cues.

They look something like this, but are usually a bit wider and not as tall and more rounded profile.
