Which rubbers? (Oh Matron :)

Always wanted to say that ;p

As we move to putting things back on the car, I am looking at the bonnet rubbers. Today I was going through the bag of rubber pieces and found three different pieces (see picture)

I think <think> the bottom one is the one I need (and I recall someone was looking into remanufacturing?)

Curiously I was looking at the bonnet stay and there is a rubber piece to keep it from rattling that looks like the middle profile? Would that make sense? It is in the vertical back of the crossbar if that makes sense.

any thoughts?

thanks all
JP

I don't think your photos have uploaded correctly as I can't see any of them. However, 1972Nail has remanufactured bonnet and boot rubbers recently if you need new ones.

I can't see pictures either. Would HB rubbers be the same as the HC ones that have been made?

Yep the bottom one is a bonnet rubber. HB and HC rubbers are the same. Doesn't look like you have any boot rubbers in that selection though.

Yes, the bottom one is for the bonnet on HB and HC. The early HB's has a different rubber for the rear pair on the bonnet and the middle one I suspect is one of those. The later ones are totally interchangeable with the earlier ones.

I don't recognise the top one at all.

I have had the later bonnet and the boot rubbers re-made if you need any.
