Hi lads,
Anyone have a pair of Oval bonnet hinges and prop/stay to match in good nick they aren't using?
It would seem my set has been misplaced at the panel shop and they are wanting to start setting gaps before paint.
Any assistance appreciated!
Dino.

No problem...
Before I get too excited are they 54 specific? pretty sure mine are from a late 55 (hinges) and the bonnet stay could be 56-58 ish
Will get you pics as soon as I get my hands on em

that look very much like Stays 101
54-55
56-59
60-61
I have an extra 54/55 one. However Emerald's snapped just near the top joint last week, but it should be repairable. If it can be fixed, then you are welcome to the extra one.

Thanks Simon, I might have to take you up on that.
Benny, hinges themselves would be great if you have them as at least with those, we can check fitment of the hood.

Found the stay Dino looks like it's a 56-59 if any use? Will check for any others... But pretty sure the other one is the same...
Will have a look at the shed tomorrow for the hinges...
Sorry for the delay...

Is the panelshop paying for them?

Thanks Benny, let me know!
Josh - Good question although I haven't got into it yet with the owner as they are going to 'look again' after I expressed the difficulty at finding another set not to mention my annoyance.
I will have to pay for them, but will have to work something out I regards to the work.
At this stage it's been there long enough so I'd just like to get it home before year end.
