    Jamie Carnes May the Torque be with you.

    Try to say that 3 times quickly...;)

    Does anyone happen to have a supplier and/or part number for these or know if they are even reproduced? They look very similar to a trunk lid bumper, but they have a wider base to push into a larger hole on each rear bumper bracket. SoffSeal has a number of round bumpers, but without being able to compare it to their stock in person, I have no idea which to order.

    Thanks!

    The trunk lid bumpers are pretty close iirc

    Yes, they are; however, the bases of the trunk lid bumpers are not as large as those required for the ones on the bumper brackets.

    Update: my original measures .975 in diameter, has a .294 installed height, and a drill size of .286.

    The closest thing I can find that SoffSeal offers is part #K-108 that has a .905 diameter, .365 installed height, and .25 drill size. If I can't locate anything closer, I will give these a try and update here regarding fit.

    Here's an update on the SoffSeal part #K-108: they will not fit (insert is too small in diameter). If I happen to locate a good option, I'll post another update here.
