    Hood/Bonnet hold downs

    I have a set of NOS rubber hold downs with the inscription ABARTH cast into them.The anodised anchors; bumper & hood have that Italian-look. I especially like the way the anchor for the bumper is designed with a circlip instead a cotter pin holding the rubber to the anchor for the bumper. These are a little longer than the usual rubber item ,I think. The bumper anchor would have to be shaved some to fit the 911 bumper nicely.
    My question: would it be cost prohibitive to duplicate the rubber part. I do not think it would be to difficult to modify the anchor for the bumper & perhaps un- fancy the anchor for the hood. I can post some fotos if there is an interest,guidance.........cliffandropoff.USA

    By all means, please do post some photos ASAP please, because I'll be out of town the next few days without access to a computer and would like to see these before I leave tomorrow AM since I'm very interested.

    Thank you
