Default Hood Latch Adjusting Bolt bumper

I can find for a 68-76 model but not for a 1981. They look the same with pic but will they work? Just bought this ride and its my first Corvette so I'm somewhat a novice here. The driver side adjusting bolt is near the wiper and missing the rubber bumper. You can see the bumper on the passenger side if you look hard enough. I believe the bumpers for the 68-76 would work?? Thanks,

Should be a rubber bumper on the adjusting screw shown.

Don't know exactly what your pic is showing but 81 does not have an "adjusting bolt".
78-82 has latches like shown with the adjustment being shims placed under the latch part on the hood underside.
Only rubber bumper is that shown on the spring.....
