Here's the latest info on the hood to fender rubber bumpers. Mark Ascher is in Kansas City this week with his family and stopped by last night for a visit. After a spin around the block in the red convertible we looked at those hood to fender rubber bumpers. The bumpers that I ordered from Cars, Inc. in 1997 that I put on my red convertible, fit great and looked like the originals. Last year I ordered the listed rubber bumpers again from Cars, Inc. to put on my silver convertible, restoration in progress. Last night I dug them out their box and compared them with what was on my red convertible. As you can see from the photo, they are not the same. The Cars, Inc. HFB610-3 bumpers are too thick and do not match what they supplied to me in 1997. Mark, said that what he received from FusickOlds are thinner just like the originals. So I will order HB64 bumpers from FusickOlds. Cars, Inc. does have many fine quality parts, but they must have changed suppliers of this part. I suppose that one could add shims to the fenders where they fit to the radiator core support and to the cowl to accommodate the thicker bumpers, but that not to path that I want to take.
