Mark Tearney Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'm looking for a bonnet pin as one of mine has parted company with my bonnet today. Don't fancy paying the rip off Westfield parts department prices tbh. Anywhere i can get just the single pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 That’s a bit harsh. Ask a company to machine one for you out of aluminium and you’ll find it costs a fair bit more! However. If you can find a bit of alloy tube, then use that as an alternative with a long m5 nut and bolt to hold it in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get desperate I can dig it out and post it as not very local to you to collect. I'm sure I only have a spare pin not grommet. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Tearney Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'd be grateful Lee as I'm only after the pin, grommets are glued in so not moving anywhere. Pm me with price and postal cost etc. Regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably more a 100grams tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a thread about postage weights - the system they use has “issues” 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The postage system is volumetric not by weight, from memory which causes, ahem, issues. The advice, as always, is if it looks wrong, give them a ring and speak to parts. They will usually be able to sort things out, reasonably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
