Bolt rubber cap thingies?

[hants34]

Hi, does anyone know where I can get the rubber caps that sit on top of the bolts that the rear deck lid, engine cover and front bonnet cover drop down on to? Mine have perished and I can't seem to find anything similar anywhere.

Cheers

Part number X046B6113Z, available from Lotus at about £2 each or the usual parts specialists for about half that.

I got about 6 from SJ a few years ago to replace the ones my car came without...

Great, thanks for the replies and the part number, most appreciated.

Alternatively, you can take.out the bolts and.dip the heads in 'plasti-dip' a liquid rubber comes in a tin...dries, well, like a.rubber coating...

What about them rubber stoppers that fit on the bottom of a stool or a small table. The type that have round in section metal legs. These stoppers normally fit on the outside. I bought 2 packs. I'll take a photo tonight. I aligned the rear tail gate on the SE Turbo at the weekend. I found 12mm type fit very well on the M8 nuts. I also used 4 washers on the right side looking forward and 3washers on the left, to lower the catch mechanism. Had to use longer bolts to take up this space of thread. The tail gate shuts snug now.

How about these? Cut about 5mm off the back. Perfect replacements

Was there meant to be a picture on your post Eddie?

Yes but its not easy to add pictures on this forum, even if low resolution.
