Now that the warmer weather is here, some of the 30-odd year old bits have decided to give up the ghost.

I'm looking for a source for direct replacement bonnet strikes (cone-ended shaft attached to the bonnet that mate with the latch on the firewall) for a 1972 Vixen 2500. The only ones that I've found so far are from an M series and require the mounting bracket on the underside of the bonnet to be modified. Anyone know of a source for the original type?

The bonnet catches and strikers are listed as from an Anglia 105E on John Upham's parts list - www.tvrvixen.org.uk - haven't seem too many of those on this side of the Atlantic, though.
