Yo,
Nice photos on the POCA site -- I took a look a while ago, but wow, nice collection of Group 4 and other nice cars with that link.
If you could show how the rubber piece is affixed on your car, that is all that I am looking at. I have seen Triumph TR-6's that have a similar thing on their front hood -- except instead of mounting on the engine cover, it would be a wedge of rubber mounted on the opening surrounding where the engine cover goes, kind of like the jamb of the engine opening. I wonder if something like that would work? Early 70 Mopars have a similar type of thing -- maybe able to be modified to work, it is just that the rubber "button" on your car does look pretty cool and obviously it works, so why reinvent the wheel?
Thanks again,
Mark
