330 GT rubber bumpers for trunk hinges

[330GT]

A long time ago, i bought a rubber kit with the intention of trying to make these bumpers as they were missing on my car:

I finally gave up on ever getting it done, so I contacted Verell Boaen, who makes other NLA Ferrari plastic and rubber parts, mainly for 308s. He'll have the molds done in a couple of days. If you are interested in getting a set for your 330, contact Verell (http://www.unobtainiumsupply.com).

And many thanks to Michael Bayer for providing an original to copy.

I am replacing the hinge bumpers on my car, and their installation and purpose has me confused. The old bumper on my car (only one hinge had one) was installed seemingly "backwards", with the "fat" part of the bumper on the inside of the hinge, between the two flanges, and the pointy "Christmas tree" shape on the outer curved part. It looks like maybe the the Christmas tree is suppose to hit the body when the trunk is closed, but I am nut sure.

The As-Built Configuration and Judging Guidelines Manual has a pic of the bumper installed, but its still not clear on what the bumper does or how it should be installed.

Thoughts?

Bumper contacts the upper body cavity when the trunk is lifted up.....so i believe it would be obvious??

Does Verell still have these available ??
