hobson Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Can anyone advise where to get a set of military bonnet catches to replace the standard not very good cable operated one on my defender? the sand is not being kind to it despite regular lubrication! i can see the individual parts for sale but would prefer to get a full kit. or part numbers might be helpful if anyone knows? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yostumpy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I think the last pair (s/h) on e-blag went for over £70! wish I had a box full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty oh no Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I got a pair a year or two back second hand from Dropzone for about a tenner if I recall. That money on Ebay is crazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Personally I wouldnt bother with them. Mine froze up during the winter and I couldnt get the bonnet open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 They are the same as the ones on my Series One, Speak to Dunsfold.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 They are the same as the ones on my Series One, Speak to Dunsfold.. I have just got some from ebay and they cost me £50 inclusive of post but they can make more. If you do buy from ebay don’t forget to ask if the springs are still strong or even unbroken as I know someone that bought some with weak springs that were a waste of time . All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best for non-original parts try ebay.com and search for hood latch = . G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Personally I wouldnt bother with them. Mine froze up during the winter and I couldnt get the bonnet open. I had that happen on one of mine once, but just one minute of holding my hand against it unfroze it. I do periodically oil them, and that must help in winter.

PaulMc Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'm pretty sure they're not available as a kit. The individual parts, as fitted to mid 80's - early 90's military 90/110, are - Prices, from Rimmer Bros, inc. VAT - MRC5314 - £36.75 RRC3815 - £9.55 300693 - £15.39 Suddenly, £70-£80 on eBay, looks like a bargain . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
