They are plastic bushings. You can purchase them at home depot or lowes as plastic washers. You will then need to purchase longer 10mm bolts.

ace hardware sells these just about a inch long aluminum dowels that fit a 10mm bolt just about perfectly, get 4 of them and get 4 longer bolts and off you go.

Take out your old hood bolts, put the sleeves between the hinge and the hood and put the bolt back on and tighten.

report back with pix, now go grasshoppa
