I'm trying to take care of a couple items on my 2000 Vert got recently.

The center console lid has a nice padded cover. However, one of the 4 posts for the hinge screw broke off, and another of the steel threaded inserts are stripped. The screws are all a mix-match so I'd like to source those too with the new lid base.

I can't seem to find a part number for just the base of the lid with the screw inserts (nut things). Can anyone guide me there?

Also, there appear to be two bumpers that the closed lid rests on that are missing. In some diagrams they appear to be the same PN and in others the front is different than the rear. I can't make sense of this?

But worse, these things with shipping are pound for pound more expensive than gold. The best I've seen so far is $20 shipped?

Has anyone found a generic bumper that will work? Or have other options once I iron out exactly what I need? Two of the same or different?

Thanks!!

I thought Marc just dealt in used parts? I was hoping to find new, if possible?

Thanks for the reply just the same!

He deals mostly with used, but does have a few new items as well.

If you want new that's fine but I hope your checkbook is armor plated. It'll take quite a hit.

Well, I've got some good news to share. I decided to take a trip to the local hardware stores, and I was able to find within the assorted fasteners section, a bin full of automotive rubber bumpers. Found a few that matched up closely to the console and even found one that is almost identical to the gas door bumpers. They were between $1.72 and $2.12 each. Bonus! Still have to sort the inner lid piece.

Two more items done! 101 to go...

Kudos for taking the time and effort to solve these kinds of little problems and then sharing.

Nice find at the hardware store.

The hinge posts are on the outer lid with the finished cover over it, not on the inner piece. The inner piece just has holes that they pass through.
