Hi,
They're available as repro items from the Capri Club.
http://capriclub.co.uk/bonnet-blocks?se ... /%20Mk%203
Also available used.

They seem expensive, but if the bodyshop lost your old ones they should pay for replacements.

Re: 4 bonnet rubber blocks mk3
I seem to remember them being about £4 30 years ago from Ford. If they're £8 now that doesn't seem too bad after inflation.pbar wrote:You can also get them from Tickover, about £8 each ex vat -
