Hi All,

Looking for genuine/reproduction rear bonnet rubber catches that secure back bonnet got my 914 GT build.

Anyone got any lying around or know where to buy new ones? Have checked AA and Sierra Madre though not actually sure the proper name to search (hence why I may not have been able to find them)!

Cheers

Craig

They carry a couple different sizes so make sure to get the length you want.

Thanks. Saw they have a special on for two different looking ones for $14.50 the pair.

Any idea on how to determine the correct length so as I purchase the right one?

The SMC ones are not strictly right I think. Try this link for the correct shape and size boot hold downs

Originals are are really very short, my ones are I would say are about 2" long, found them on eBay years ago

Found some similar looking ones here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bonnet-Fastener-54-5mm-Catch-Rally-Car-Clip-Caravan-Vintage-Trunk-Hood-Locker/111896996809?_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D43783%26meid%3D174b4aac93db4cd387830664b47128bf%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D281365762455

There must be a vendor in Aus who sells similar. Good luck with the search

Anyone else have any leads?
