Bonnet Catch Front Hold Down MKIV

Hello friends,

Does anyone have a source for a front bonnet hold down for a MKIV? I have one but need another, sadly. The previous owner put it in the “safe keeping” box. :weary:

I was not to find a supplier when I needed one, so I made one from a length of bar and threaded the ends. Quite an easy job if you have a good bench vice, hacksaw, hammer, and cutting die. I suspect much less cost as well. The sizes and dimensions you can copy off the one you have.

Hi Polti,

Thank you for the suggestion but it’s the part shown in the photo I posted previously. I have all the original screw-down catches, fortunately.

Thank you too, David. I would like to find another original but if not then it will need to be fabricated, as you have done.

Kind regards to both of you,

Tim
