Clip for retaining the bonnet stay

[mohitos]

Hi Chaps,

Quick question for you - I am missing the clip that retains the bonnet stay in place - does anybody know where replacements can be obtained ?

I also recall that some of you have replaced the stay with gas struts so would be interested to hear or see you alternate solutions.

Thanks !

Something like this was TVR's way I think?........ clicky

Think I've got a couple in the garage somewhere, can pop in post if you drop me your address.


Or try this, I like it, stay doesn't "fall out" like it can with those clips.

Thanks Phillpot - what are you using to retain it in the photo ?

It is screwed to the bodywork with two thin self tappers. there are two holes in the "front" of the piece of pipe to get a screwdriver onto them but these holes close up and become all but invisible.

Used a small P clip attached to the bulkhead, when i made the new stay i drilled a hole in the end and put an R clip through it, when it is holding the bonnet up the R clip can go in again to stop the stay coming out of the hole
