No quite more like the metal plates that go on the hinges

Tried eBay ?

Have a look in the traders section one here. Jon Betts sells new bonnet hinges that lift the back of the bonnet up so you don't need the spacers.

Why do you want to lift the rear of your bonnet? Is it just for the look or for the engine heat etc? Give this article a read about aerodynamics & what the air actually does if you raise the back of your bonnet.
If you still want to do it then you could just make up your own plates to fit to the hinges & bonnet. You'll have to try & bend your bonnet out flatter too so it still sits flush at the front.

JB fabrication run by jon betts on here makes these hinges
the ones on the right have a lengthened bit to lift the back of the bonnet.
