If it's these, then I'm interested too:




My hooks here are aftermarket stainless ones and I'm finding that rubber (arrowed) is wearing really fast where it rubs against the hood side panels.



PS. As you can see, I glued little plastic/stainless discs to the paint on my hood side panels to stop the paint from wearing through there (and to stop the associated rust streaks that would otherwise occur).

I seem to recall a thread where somebody sandwiched thin rubber bumpers together to make the proper size. I don't think it was Marbles, but I have been wrong before.

I used some rubber clamp tips that have a threaded rod in them. They are commonly used on squeeze clamps. Got them from Grainger and they worked perfectly.

Mcmaster-Carr. Don't remember the part number off the top of my head, but I just measured one of the bumpers and picked one that I thought looked right

I made some by drilling out cylinders from 1/2" neoprene rubber. Pretty cheap.

I just for new hooks from cruiser Dan. They are factory and have lasted 7 years so far. I know they are still available, but don't know the cost now. I paid about $80 for the pair with shipping if I recall correctly. That'd solve your issue permanently (or for at least 20 years).
