Eagerbeaver Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just looking to get a couple of new bonnet handles for my GT6. Has anyone had experience of those on EBay for £40?They look well priced but is the quality good?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BONNET-CATCH-FITTINGS-SPITFIRE-GT6-HERALD-KIT-CARS-/261079152386?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc987b702#ht_989wt_754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 You should not use them as handles. Always lift at the wheel arch and at the center of the bonnet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always thought that I was putting strain on mine with the weight of the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagerbeaver Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Apologies for the slip. I've never used them as handles either. At £40 each they look good value but I was wondering if the quality would be up to OE standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagerbeaver Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 An update on this. The catches arrived and they are good. They are even cheaper on their website than EBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aar0sc Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 No surprise, Sports Car Supplies are very good, they're in Newcastle, I visited last time I was up there and spent about an hour chatting with the bloke who owns it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
