Bonnet locks
(Preview)

I bought a replacement pair from Holden but the part that turns under the scuttle is too short to engage with it. I can also see from the original mounting holes that th...

Rear side window catch location.
(Preview)

Interior Door Handles
(Preview)
I have researched for some time to determine the source for the interior door handle (door pulls). They are Sunbeam Talbot II circa 1951. The Triumph TR4 units work, but are not the correct shape. Thought this would be helpful to the group. Keith (USA- Kansas)
