My car, #02732 has the 'L' shaped rubber (or plastic) bump stops. See pics. Does anyone know a source for these, or can ID them as from any different car. Mark Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thank you Matthias, I will have a look. Since posting I saw that the Le Mans car had the same, but also the Maranello Concessionaires E Series demo #01616 and the Road & track May '72 road test car too.
Looking at your picture it is hard to determine dimensions. It might be similiar to Ferrari part number 60551400, except it does not use pop rivets.
Sorry, I left them in the panel shop. Won’t be back there for a couple of weeks. Thank you for the part number. Will have a look. Mark
Sorry, I mistakenly described #01616 as an E Series car when it is actually an M Series example. Here is a photograph from the September 1971 Motor Sport Magazine. A rivet/hole is clearly to be seen. This is very likely of #01616, but if so is yet to get it's number plate, but the F script is there. Image Unavailable, Please Login Mark
This one is the May 1972 Road & Track test car that had the plate NART4. No idea of the chassis number. I can not see an obvious rivet or hole. Matthias, can you post any pictures of what those on the Le Mans car looked like. I think is a Fiat 600 part. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Unless they’re easily & inexpensively available, doesn’t seem too complicated to fabricate, which would also allow one to make them custom thickness to provide ideal fit for the lid alignment.
Hello Mark, the Fiat 500 door stopper rubber isn`t 100% correct The rubber angle goes down, not up... so we cut... not perfect.... I´m definitevely interested in the correct ones.... originally not rivited! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Timo I agree. However I think it is possible that is what has already happened with mine. The car was repainted once before, in the mid 80's and the bump stops look a bit irregular. I should have bought them back with me, but forgot. I will not be back at the shop for another two or three weeks. Mark
Russell above, suggested a part number. So I looked at Maranello Classic Parts https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/part/search?SearchText=60551400 Image Unavailable, Please Login Then, since you had suggested a Fiat part I went through the Cicognani website and found these https://www.cicognaniguarnizioni.it/Fiat-121/600d-121-d50/gommini-sottocofano-anteriori-e-posteriori-_15pz_-_set_-12150331_3138 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login I have found other slightly different versions on other Fiat part websites. Since they are near me, I will get the Maranello Classic Parts versions and report back. Mark
Mark, Looking at this picture, I think the hole may not be just for a rivet or a screw, but perhaps a “blind” hole used for inserting a small flat tip round punch or rod to (help) push the back-/bottom side “nipple” through the hole in the metal. I’m just saying this because I have a variety of oval, rectangular, round, square, etc rubber bumpers with such installation technique.
I knew I had a pair of these I bought at FAF in Atlanta probably around 1988. They had a ton of them at the time. Never new what they were for but I bought a pair because they had a Dino part number. Some of the reproductions look pretty close. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I got the Maranello Classic Parts items yesterday. They require some cleaning up which I have pretty much done to the two on the right. Just need to find the right tool to cut a small hole. Racerboy9, how do the measurements compare to yours please and how big is the hole ?

The Maranello parts look good and the measurements are spot on. Best I can tell, the hole size is 7mm. That looks to be the short stem diameter under the funnel shaped part. The main difference is the little hole in the bend that is ~6mm deep and that is just from the production process. It's really not a hole but a deep dimple. You could replicate it with a drill or burr.
Brilliant, thank you. Could you please advise what the hole in the bend measures across. I think, as Timo has suggested, it is a place to push it in with. I think a drill would chew up the rubber and not look great. I am looking for something like a leather hole cutter, just want to get the right width. Not worried about the depth too much. Thanks again. Mark
Measures out as a 2mm hole. Maybe a Dremel grinding stone would work. I would practice on another piece of rubber till you are satisfied with your technique. Looks like the Maranello bumpers are made to be pulled into the hole rather than pushed. I use silicone grease to make installation easier.
Another way to "drill" (or mill) more precise(?) depth/width hole into rubber is briefly/quickly freeze it with liquid nitrogen or something similar. And to assist installation of rubber bumpers, grommets, etc into their intended holes, I've always found soapy water helpful as it, unlike some petroleum or silicon based lubricants, dries off quick enough. Also, as my previously mentioned pull-in type rubber bumpers have the blind hole to assist the installation and not necessarily to be used only as push-in.
I found a very original car with the same L shaped boot/luggage compartment stops as my car. They are of a very similar age. So I am going to find a way to recreate them or modify something else. However I am interested in the rubber to the sides, see arrow. Does anyone know who sells this ? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
