Seat buffer grommets

Anyone have a source for these? EBAY prices run $4-$6 apiece +shipping, which is ridiculous. Every Norton seat i own needs some, but I'll be damned if I pay that much for a simple rubber part.

It will be some std rubber moulding, cheap if bought in volume, but where to get them in bulk as I have looked but not found it.

I'd like to buy a thousand for the pennies they're actually worth and sell them for $5 each, then take an extended vacation in Tahiti.

Here's a set of Triumph seat buffers for $4 apiece- 2 different kinds and one type odd. Still too much $.

Just ordered a free catalog from Steele. Even at $2.30 they're overpriced, but still a lot cheaper than normally available stock parts.

Generic name is stem bumpers in US going by Steeles site

Now to find the UK name, bonnet bumper instead of hood bumper did not come up with the same item.

Even less if you get them from the NOC , but if you want them pony up!

I used my old ones, they somehow were magically still viable. But I also added pieces of perhaps 3/4" thick wall tubing on the frame too and glued them on in susceptible places. My early seat hits the frame in more places than where the bumpers are. It's always been like this.
