"Standoffs" is the generic what you are after
Contact VWcool
He sells "hood jax"
Do a search - it is his version of an easily removable style

Boot is on the front where You put luggage....
engine lid or cover is on the rear.. on beetles
the alloy bolt on engine lid standoffs are available at all VW shops and aren't expensive...
The "hood jacks" are a much better idea if You want to close the lid at times....
You can fit 2 dipsticks to it and put it back to normal in 10 seconds true...

Hi Povi,
I am certain, that I have a spare set of Hoodjax.
They are in very shape, due to being in the shed for well over 10 years.
Lee is spot on, they're very to use, specially on a '73 Superbug, IE: the short boot lid.
You can have them for say, $20.00.
Bryce
