Hello all,
I'm a newcomer to Cerbera ownership and am just working my way through various little niggles.
I wondered if anyone has any ideas on where I can find replacement plastic pins to secure the bonnet and also the rubber seals that they go into. I think that wear in these two pieces could be the cause of the underside of the bonnet rubbing on a couple of points in the engine bay and also the bonnet vibrating at high speed.

Any thoughts or ideas welcome

Cheers Ed

All seems normal to me.

Sorry about not giving you the answer to your question as I did have one of mine replaced via my indie.

The rubbing is pretty normal frown

The rubber seals you are talking about are just rubber grommets used for plugs and things that you can pick up in any diy shop.

Are your plastic bits broken? they may just need adjusting to balance the two sides out!!

I've recently replaced mine.

The White plastic bits are available from TVR Power, the grommets....I've got these in stock, but I can't remember which size we used. I think we used the 20mm blind ones & poked a hole in them. We've got thousands in stock, the electricians use them for routing cables through the metal wall boxes that your sockets go in to.

If you need any, email me.

The rubbing....The car I'm in today, has some Velcro stuck to the part of the car that the bonnet sits on. Looks like it's acting as a spacer. Some of those stickers that hold registration plates on, would have worked as well, I would have thought.

also LEVEN make alloy pins to replace the plastic ones, you can thread them to get a perfect fit, well worth fitting.....
