hey guys,
I'm after one of these plastic bonnet hooks in good condition. If you have two i'll grab them both.
Let me know what you have,
cheers.

I dont have any but i'm sure that old cruisers used this type of thing for a bonnet lock. Also some trucks use them to keep the cab locked down so if you get really stuck you could try chase something from them.

I have about 6 of those plastic bits actually  (None for sale, thats just enough, and I have no spares).
Its the steel T bars I am lacking.... Only 1 single good one, and a pair of plastic ones. Out of 8* LJ's
*some were partially complete...

Take the whole car! That poor thing need to be saved!
Those little tabs can't be too hard to make, grab a sheet of abs plastic from clark rubber and a hair dryer and go for it! Would be even easier to do in metal.

Mate I can make mould from just about anything. Happy to look at them at least. Remember whatever I am given will be reproduced 10000% the same, so if the part I get has any marking or scratches etc that will show on the mould and will show on the parts.
Sorry for the hijack
I'll go sit in the corner again now
