1950-53 Buick license plate and gas door bumpers

Anybody know where to get these? I am not seeing them in the Car's Inc. or Bob's Automobilia catalogs. Restoration Specialties supposedly has them but wants $17 to ship ten of them (!). Looking at the ones on the car, they need to fit a 1/4" hole and are 1/2" diameter and 1/8" thick.

McMaster has a wide selection of stem bumpers @ about 10-20 cents apiece but you need to buy a package of 50 or 100..............Bob

Steele Rubber has the Bumpers in their catalog (ior they did a few years ago). Check online and find out.

Check ebay, lots of rubber for sale.

I'm going to try and call Restoration Specialties on Monday...maybe it's some kind of glitch in their website's online ordering. I have no problem buying 10 bumpers for $11.00 but I'm not paying $17 to ship them. That's outrageous. They weigh next to nothing. Even a Priority Flat Rate small mailer in which you could fit 100 of these bumpers only runs like $6.

In the meantime I'm going to check Steele...I've found the sets of bumpers for around $20 but sizes aren't described, and I've already ordered the wrong size "fuel door bumpers" off of eBay last month so I'm down $10 on replacing them so far.

Check out Fusick. They have the gas door bumpers. Did not check the license plate bumpers. Actually they have a very good array of parts for mid fifties Buicks due to compatibility with similar year Oldsmobile's. They have been a supplier for Olds parts for a number of years and only recently have added a separate catalog of Buick parts..
