'I didn't have a lot of money to spend when I rebuilt my F24W40. I needed
all the rubber bumpers used for cowl stand offs. My solution was to use part
of the discarded tire valve stems I got from a local tire shop. (They usually
replace valve stems each time they replace a tire.) I cut off the top
portion of the valve stem and bought some inexpensive bolts, nuts and and washers
to secure them to the wraparound.

I have had to replace some of them over the 25 years, but it is a cheap fix.

'Frank,

Eight or so years ago I bought some suitable rubber bumpers for my PT from

Grand Rapids Rubber Products Co.
Grand Rapids, MI
616-531-4181

Parts description was 291-26012-Bumper Grommet

They are black and fit well in the holes in the cowlings. They are cylindrical instead of being tapered and are about 1/16 to 3/32 taller than the originals. I just ground them off on my disk sander. I don't remember the cost, but it was reasonable. Hope this helps.
