Vixen Bonnet catches

[Astacus]

I believe the Vixen bonnet catches come from the Anglia 105E. Mine are not in great shape and at least one needs to be replaced. I have kept an eye out for them and all I have found are the ones lacking the guide piece - a shallow dished plate on the top. Does anyone know whether the Angle box really did have both types, and if so was it for a particular model/year?

I have one the same (with the washer missing..which now I look, did not appear to ever have any washer) and I was going to create a curved washer and weld it on ...then re-zinc plate to put into stock...PM me.

Does anybody know of a source of the pins that lock into these catches? I presume theses were also 105E?
