    Guys

    When I took my bumpers in to be re-chromed, I forgot to take the rubber license plate bumpers and fuel door bumpers off.
    Much to my dismay, the knuckleheads at the chrome shop threw them away.
    I have spent a month trying to find the correct rubber bumper with no luck! I have purchased and returned about 4 sets already, and none seem to be the correct hole size.

    I did buy a set from Rock Auto, and found that what they had listed as the fuel door bumpers, fit into the holes on the front bumper for the license plate, so I guess I can keep those.
    However I still need something for the fuel door.

    the hole size in the bumper is 7/8".

    Is there someone out there that makes the correct size?
    :af:

    Try Ames Performance (Pontiac parts). I got some for my 71 from them.

    Got mine from Old Buick Parts for my 70 and it fit great and looked like the original...

    OK, got the ones from "Old Buick Parts" and they are too small as well.
    This the 5th set that I have tried and none have been correct.

    any ideas?

    Maybe you have the wrong lid? Stranger things have happened.
