Happy New Year and condolences to any of our group who've been hit by the flooding. Hopefully no cars suffered.
I need a couple of the screw down catches per the attached photo. Does anyone know a source. The car shown by the way, is the Beaulieu museum example.

Try Willie McKenzie at Austin Reproduction Parts as they are the manufacturers of new M type bonnet catches in batches from time to time

Peter.
If you buy new /reproduction catches to make up a set for an M Type, make sure the new ones are the same as you already have.
I believe there were two different top patterns originally.
I had some made for the 18/80 which are different from the M Type ones.

I believe Willie does 18/80 and M-type catches.
