WTB: Prop rod plastic tip

Thankyou so much Chris, I very much appreciate it.
As discussed previously, I am doing my best to build a replica of an ALPINA B2S , using the RHD 3.0 CSA, I have owned since I was 18 yo (35 years), so given it is not LHD it will be a bit of a giveaway, but I am determined to get the other visual and weight saving detail as close as possible.
Thanks again,
Mike

First, thanks for the info already in this thread, very interesting and helpful!
Anyone else missing that bracket? You might already have one right under your nose!
For prosperity…
This particular “L” bracket was lost from my CSL trunk during painting.. :/
I planned to make a new one based on pictures, but I thought it looked somehow familiar…
I realised it is the same exact bracket used inside the kick panel under the steering wheel. (Mine is 1975 LHD incase it varies)
A classic cost saving move to recycle parts off the shelf and thank you very much BMW, now I have the part already in my hand!
Held up to the Alu trunk lid the rivet holes line up exactly.
Hopefully someone else finds that useful.
Now a question, can anyone tell me the length of the trunk support rod from mount to mount?
Thanks!
(Sorry for the pic quality they are screenshots from a video)

Did anyone ever 3-d print the 4 pronged clip that props clip into?
I'm interested too.
I recently ordered one of these and they are too big. suit 8mm rod no 6mm.

I am visiting in Gaia uses no rubber grommet- the rod is notched.
@JamesE30 I had discovered the same on the little clip and sourced a few for my car. The front is already installed but likely not in the perfect location.
I don’t have the rear measurements yet unfortunately. Eventually I’ll have to ask a local CSL enthusiast if I can poke around his lightweight.
I’ll add this for anyone missing their prop. The rear CS torsion bars are the same diameter, and already have the “L” on one side. Long enough to make a prop and they come in pairs.
