Bean Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I know this has been asked before but I couldn't work out exactly which part number I need for new bonnet catches. http://www.protex.com/ I'm after straight fit replacements with the option to stick a securing pin through. I've already got some replacement foam strip to replace to manky looking stuff currently on there. Quote
Greenstreak-Andy D Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I used SVA friendly ones, available from Europa. The item is sourced from SOUTHCO fasteners...good clean fit, only 2 needed as at the front you can use the Westfield supplied pins Andy Quote
Bean Posted October 10, 2005 Author Posted October 10, 2005 These ones? https://secure.visav.co.uk/avshop....em=1120 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 only 2 needed as at the front you can use the Westfield supplied pins Though, be aware that if you are going to have air filters sticking out through your bonnet, it can be quite a struggle with pins. (I know mine is ). One of those winter jobs is to put another pair of catches on at the front and take the pins off. Quote
Greenstreak-Andy D Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Gadgetman has a point there, i agree.....mine as the avatar suggests is on twin 45's with westie supplied filter and dosent protude as far! This is the clip http://www.southco.com/product/part.aspx?pid=12962&cp= Sorry, had to dash last night Andy Quote

I run twin 40's but there is not hole in the bonnet for air intake or filters to poke out. That's a winter mod. Quote
Greenstreak-Andy D Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 You will need to drill some holes i'm afraid, but the latch comes with a new stainless hook and is larger than the std westfield one, so the net result are the old holes are neatly covered! You can plug old holes or it is possible to do a gel coat repair, not somethiing i have done, but i'm sure if you want to go to those lengths someone will know...... Andy Quote

Andy Cool, so it's possible to remove the old latches, modify holes and fit new ones then? It's gotta be done so I might as well bite the bullet and order four new catches. Quote

Bean Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Spooky, I lost two R clips recently and was about to order replacements. Thought I'd posted about them in the past. Quote
