I know that most E-Types, expecially early ones, are being restored, even from a state that other brands would not. Mine is a good example, too far gone some would say. But some of them are being split up and sold as parts or?
I need the two bonnet brackets in the picture, and my 3 favorite vendors tell me they are not available. But is there an E-Type junkyard anywhere, where the few not available parts can be sourced?

I believe this is part BD18767. Available from a number of suppliers in the UK and the US.

Yes, Barratt's have them. Though at that price you could bend and shape a piece of steel to do the job for a fraction of the cost.
