Hello everyone, I just bought a very nice 2001 XJR with 51k miles (see pics). When I bought it, the bonnet cable was broken, but the car looked great and drove well, and the seller discounted his price more than the dealer estimate to repair it. Thanks to this forum, my friends and I popped the bonnet Saturday and installed a new cable assembly; I found also need the release lever and that’s on its way. Everything under the bonnet looks great with the exception of the liner, which is a bit rough. I’ve scoured all the usual sources (this is my third Jaguar) and cannot find a replacement. Any ideas? Much appreciated!
The part # is HND2640AC, per the diagram below. I haven't scoured sites looking, but the ones I've seen, most list it as unavailable. So you might have to resort to ebay and such, getting creative with keywords, XJ8, X308, bonnet liner, hood liner, etc.

Thing is, for $338 (plus bulk shipping), I'll live with the couple of dings in my insulation.
But I did look at going the custom route and found folks who were using aircraft firewall insulation to custom make liners. Thing is the gentlemen who was the main go to guy, passed away in 2014...I haven't seen anyone pick up the ball, so you may have to make your own going that route.

Very nice find btw...looks great Gator8.
Thanks very much; I feel very fortunate to have become its caretaker. I bought it from the son of a lady who had owned it since 2002; she had to give it up when her vision declined. It was definitely her baby!
