Default Looking for Firebird headlight door actuator bumpers

Has anyone found a good source of supply for new plastic bumpers that "catch" the actuator arm coming off the motor? (From the factory, there were two white rubber/plastic pieces that mount on metal stubs coming out of the body work. The arm that attaches to the motor hits these bumpers at the top and bottom of motion.)

Mine are essentially toast. If I can't find any, I may try making my own from plasti-dip.

I use a short length of double wall fuel hose having inner diameter small enough to fit tight over the stub (and maybe a little RTV to hold it on).
