Converting a Series 3 to a canvas with spare wheel holder on the bonnet. Bought a spare military bonnet (with the military bonnet holder catches as the front panel has been cut so doesn't have the bonnet pin option) but only have 2 of the spare wheel strap staples with holes for the 3rd. Cant seem to get one anywhere. Anyone have one knocking around or know where I could get one?

Sorry, can't help with a spare but I haven't carried a wheel on the bonnet of mine for years after I realised that the added weight was causing the bonnet edge to wear a groove in one of the wings.

Have you tried Dingocroft or P A Blanchards, I've found both useful with odd parts in the past

Tried everywhere - nothing. It adds a significant weight but with only being a SWB cant afford to lose the space inside. May have to put some rubbers to protect the wing but see how it goes first.
