Craigieboy Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 If anyone else is looking to swap their silver catches to black ones I've found this. https://protex.com/29-619MSBL-non-adjustable-toggle-latch-light-duty-mild-steel-black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsagoodalife Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Perfect , I take it the below is the right catch plate ? https://protex.com/01-535MSBL-catch-plate-for-toggle-latch-mild-steel-black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Yeah, I think so. I've measured both as best I can and appears identical. I've went ahead and ordered a set, though the postage was a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansoeb Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I bought 2 different one’s hoping to pick up the same hole centres but had no luck. I just spray painted mine instead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spray painted mine instead Yeah that was the risk, get the wrong ones and end up with extra ventilation in the bonnet. It was your last photo that made my mind up!

Ansoeb Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Let us know how you get on with those clips, they certainly look similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 No probs, I'm convinced they are the same...... famous last words! Did you use the proper black peel back rivets and if so where did you get them? I've not looked yet. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansoeb Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Mine are fitted with the original screws, M4 button heads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsagoodalife Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I have measured these against mine and all looks like it should be , so have ordered a pair ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 Arrived this morning and are identical. Not fitted yet, I'm still waiting on the peel rivets arriving. I've been having a terrible with deliveries from Ebay etc and even cancelled a few, however the catches are from a 'real company' and were delivered next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB21 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 @Craigieboy thanks for posting this - I've also ordered a set. Protex must be wondering what is going on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evosteve Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 No need for peel type rivet, just use a suitable washer on the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I intend to put something behind the bonnet ones, washers or a little bracket, but on mine at least there's no access to them from the footwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
