Technical Falcon console lid rubber bumpers?

Anyone know where to find replacement rubber bumper stops for the 61 to 63 Ford Falcon center consoles that the console lid rests on?Thanks..And the Pal style acorn nuts for the hinge

 

Try Dennis Carpenter. HRP

 

Try AutoKrafters, Carpenter, maybe even Mac's and there's a few Falcon/Comet-only spe******t retailers out there too.

You should be able to find the acorn nuts at most better hardware stores.

 

Nada on the aftermarket.The Pal nuts are self threading.Also nada on the hardware stores.Thanks

 

There has to be something you can subs***ute with if you can't find aftermarket rubber, check the hardware stores, they have all types of stick on bumpers, look in the picture framing area, they usually have peel and stick round and square bumpers to keep them from scratching the walls.

Even some of the weather stripping might have something you can use, just think outside the box it's hot rodding not restoration.

Another thought is TFFN ( The Ford Falcon Network ) web site, they may now exactly where to find a direct replacement piece. HRP

 

McMaster-Carr has a lot of that stuff or Adveco.(not sure on spelling

Show a photo of it or give us the size of the hole and how far it needs to stick out. A 56 ford has two different ones. one size for the glove box and one for the rear licences plate that covers the gas filler.
Your pal nuts need to be self threading? or that's what you are finding? I've bought acorn nuts as small as 6-32..

 

Actually yes it is a restoration or I would just stick something on.I have checked with the nut and bolt companies and the pal nuts are discontinued/Just thought someone might have some old stuff from consoles laying around.Thank anyways

 

Have you gone to the parts department of a good sized Ford dealership?
Ford made a thousand different bumpers for all over the bodies. In our
parts department we stocked many from Ford and also had a bumper
selection from our supplies and small parts dealer. Take the console if
possible and a patient counterman will try to help you, and you'll get
the factory look you want.

 

Thanks!

 

Picture would help. Some of us worked in auto factories years ago.

 

falcon Enterprises has a pretty good selection for obscure stuff on these cars. Never led me wrong and it's a smaller shop based in the US
