Bonnet striker and catch for 1989 110

[soutie]

I went to fit the bonnet striker and catch to my 1989 110. The bonnet would not close and after much head scratching I found that bonnet striker diameter is too big for the catch. Plus the saftey catch is too long hence the Mildly miffed angle on the bonnet.

What part numbers should I be using? Is it MRC9995 for the striker? Not sure what the saftey catch part number is.

Spring part is MWC9361

Safety latch is MUC6457

As in 1987 on 110 parts book page 775 items 12 & 13.

Western, thanks. As you can see below why I was asking the question.

Could be the wrong latch mech, mine was ALR2385 upto chassis KA929745 after it changed to STC925. 

I currently have these parts attached to a Td5 bonnet, both came of my original 1989 bonnet

That was the original latch which matches the new one fitted. A friend turned down the nob on the striker by an 1/8 inch this morning and it now fits and works.

I checked the part number of the saftey catch on its box and it matches what Western gave. As I have an up rated intercooler in front of the radiator, that is why I think it was catching. So I cut the catch in half and slide the hook inside to decrease it length. A hole drilled and a bolt and nut to hold it all together. It now does not hit the intercooler. Just in case I have stuck a strip of plastic on top of the intercooler as a wear strip.

Neat adjustment, so long as it works that's good.
