How much were they?
vI haven't paid anything for them. I think they were a present.
I would speak to Adrian directly.

Adrian must be living from the air.
I am fishing behind the net. Although ..?.?.
At least I have the originals. But missing the knobs.

Great afternoon at our local East Kent meet with Phils Tuscan and Peters Beautiful Vixen
Since Peter had his Vixen he has had issues with the Bonnet popping up and after various trials and errors it was clear there was wear in one of the Catches even to the point of wanting to buy the set I had however as he had a set though worn I thought that may be a waste.
However he has come up with a solution not quite OE but certainly has worked well as he has no issues with it popping up and the parts where easily available using Lotus s2 components which are available from a number of places originally for cable operation but simple to convert to pull handle so his new OE T bar handles are still on the other end he suggested it might be good if I shared with others.

What's the difference that makes these work Andrew, just they aren't worn?
http://www.specsavers.co.uk/Direct fit no modifications required personally I would of given then a spray of zink spray to tone down the gold colour but a great alternative

OK, to ask another way, are these OE apart from being originally cable?

No bulkhead catch needs small adjustment

Its a lot simpler adjusting the pin Andrew moving the catch risks putting it out of line with the bulkhead hole, paint damage etc A
The old pins were adjustable and look original judging by the condition and a hole behind the pin to allow for it to project
