#1 Bonnet catch

Post by grimes6 » Tue Nov 24, 2015 3:30 am

I am in the process of fitting the bonnet to my 69 roadster. I have two bonnet catches - one looks as though it could be the original ( slightly bent ) and the other a new part. They are very different - is this due to the old storey of repro parts or is the original part from an earlier model?
I have found all the replies from previous posts invaluable.

Regards,
Greg

The catch is often bent to fit. Use the old one :-)
