DB18 Special Sports parts required

Post by Db n j »

I am looking for a Bonnet Hinge (and maybe also a Bonnet for our Special Sports FHC restoration.

(the car was missing one of the bonnet hinges when we took it. I have made a reasonable copy, but its not quite good enough to get a good panel gap
(the sills and front end have been very difficult to align)

The bonnet has been off the car for so long that I fear that it is also not helping matters.

Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.

ps any SS restorers might be interested in mt SS Advert - see Sales

Hi David,
Sorry for not replying earlier.
I had sent a message to the member who cleaned up and had the bonnet hinges available some time ago and I haven't heard from him but I think he may have ended up using them for the restoration of his own Special Sports.
i will ask him again at our next club meeting.
Cheers
Peter Grant

Thanks Peter. Fingers crossed.

Amazing how few parts are available in the uk. To my knowledge only one ss broken in the last 10 years, and 1 Empress (both were really beyond saving), which means few parts.
