David B2 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Good day all, Finally putting my frame back on car with new hood to come. As with the rest of the car all the rubber parts have perished but cannot find details for this one fixed to angle bracket on rear of frame. It fixes to head of an adjustment screw and when the frame is down it sits on the rear wheel arch. Cannot see it on either the Moss or Rimmer catelogues. Doesn't seem to be a home made add on. Can anyone advise part number please. Many thanks, David B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ANFRUSSELL Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hi David - Part number is 615561 - An eye watering £12.90 each from Rimmers. Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I did put that in the Moss Europe catalogue. 615561 - Item 11 on the TR4A hood frame page. I would try CD24540. the bonnet buffer from a TR2-3 It is the correct 1/4 unf thread and has a flat topped rubber. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?search_group=&q=cd24540 I would guess you could also use 612962 the conical bonnet buffer instead. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?search_group=&q=612962 Cheers Peter W Edited November 6, 2019 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David B2 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Thanks all, Peter, I see it now but the schematic was misleading me as it doesn’t show an angled bracket on the frame arm. Not available from moss though. Andrew , thanks but as you might expect not at the rimmer price. Peter W and Stuart, thanks for the pointers to a bonnet buffer (which I need as well). 612962 seems to the pointed version from suppliers pickies but CD24540 shows it flat, correct thread into my welded nut and £3.60. I’ll go with that. Hood due tomorrow so may have some other challenges!!! Thanks all. David B Edited November 6, 2019 by David B2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith1948 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hello David Remove perished rubber from metal stud. Go to local hardware shop or market and buy a couple of rubber ferrules used for walking sticks/chair legs. Mine are 1 inch diameter and 1/2 inch deep. I got mine from a market stall for about £1 each. Glue them onto the metal stud. Ok not 'original' but look almost identical and do the job. The ones I got fitted over the end of the stud without needing to glue them. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David B The 612962 part number is the same for both the flat topped TR4 buffer and the pointed 4a and on buffer, factory super-cession. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Have the same need, I ordered "rubber buffer, typ E, M6" via eBay, not in now Edited November 6, 2019 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David B2 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Z320, CD24540 is shown as in stock at DMG (triumph), my usual source. £3.60 less 10% TR discount. Keith, good idea but as it’s going to be visible for the hood application will go as above. David B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith1948 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hello David Ok no problem but here are pics of my 'repair'. First pic shows the worn bits below and the 2 rubber ferrules I found above. Second pic shows repair on left and original on right. Not exactly the same shape but does the job.

David B2 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Keith, ahh, I see now that it looks ok after you’ve cut the length down, will have a look what b&q have on my next visit. Or ... as I have since your post been looking at alternates will weld a washer onto screw head and superglue a thick rubber pad onto it. Shouldn’t look too agricultural. Thanks again.

John Morrison Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Think those are replacement walking stick ferrules. John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith1948 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Yes I think they were walking stick ferrules - I bought them for very little at Tewkesbury market. Don't think B&Q would have them - more likely a hardware shop or cobblers shop or at a market. The bolt head just fitted down a treat so I only had to cut them to length. There are several types out there once you go looking for them. Just take a bolt with you and try a few for size. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Hi, I found them as "rubber buffers for walking sticks" at eBay Germany here is the link They look lovely, I guess I will buy them and store the "typ E", just have to measure the needed diameter for the 1/4" hex head Ciao, Marco Edited November 7, 2019 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
