Just finishing up a 1969 Stinger build.  Still looking for the rubber grommets used to mount the seat.  Also looking for the peddle rubbers.

Jon Woods in CA was very helpful, but didn't have these in stock.

If I remember correctly SteveO' mentioned getting these items from an Auto Parts supplier, but I can't recall
what Bug was using.....?

I've made rubber parts by punching them out of a rubber sheet .

Old Mini Bikes may have some grips you could use for the pedals ?

Is your Bug like these or similar ?

Hi Randy - Yep its pretty much the same as the pics that you sent.  I was hoping that someone had already produced them.  We'll see I guess.
Appreciate it - Stan

Comet kart sales has some similar.
There is a 1990's Nissan pu lower radiator mount that is real close . I was told by one of the guys at Bug these were custom made for them and the place that made them burned down and they lost ther moulds and the ones I got were the last ones they had ? they are 2 piese a hat shaped rubber and a rubber washer. the washer is not a problem easy to make . but the hat is a little harder you could make them in 3 parts 2 large washers you could use Azuas swing mount washers and make a smaller washer for the inner part of the hat. ken
