    Rubber Baby Bonnet Buffers

    Anyone know where, and/or have a pic of where these go?

    Purely curiosity. I'm pretty sure my Rover is doing fine and my beer still tastes good without them, though if I could gain a couple of MPGs or get some top end boost by adding them ...

      They are used on the bonnet with the tire carrier. If your bonnet doesn't have the tire carrier you don't need them.
      1958 107 SW - Sold to a better home
      1965 109 SW - nearly running well
      1966 88 SW - running but needing attention
      1969 109 P-UP

          I think those are different. To me, they look too small. The ones that go between the tire and the hood are a lot bigger. The ones pictured look like part number 332647, that mount to the bulkhead to take up any slop in the hood hinges on the SIII (not sure about on the non-modern, pre-SIII Rovers). The trailing edge of the hood sort of bumps into these when the hood is closed:

              What Mark said...
              Beware the lollipop of mediocrity.
              Lick it once, and you'll suck forever.

                  You are correct - the ones I spoke of have a screw through the middle IIRC.

                      It's too late now: You know what they are, and every time you look at those two empty holes in your bulkhead you will see that they are missing. It will knaw at you in your sleep. Just surrender and order them up........

                              Ted,
                              Please also correctly predict tomorrow's Powerball number (best send PM).
                              Thanks,
                              Shawn
