bonnet fixing
shaywez - 2/2/05 at 01:53 PM

Anybody know where i can get some SVA compliant catches for my bonnet, i have tried Southco as i have heard of the freebies but that is only if you have your own buisness. They put me in touch with Zygology and they wanted £40.68 all in, Europaspares want £21 something for 2. If i was to get the overcentre catches at £8.83 ea any ideas on making them SVA compliant? Thanks

Darren @ GTS sells the SVA rubber catches at £16/pair IIRC.

try here link

alternatively, I (and a few others) contacted a bulk supplier (can't remember who now) and got free samples sent
Might be worth a search through previous threads to see who the company was....

Glad i jumped on the free sample band waggon a long time ago then

Had to go to 3 companies to get my total of 4 samples though.

- not sure i can remember where they are now it was that long ago

Shaywez,

What about using DZUS fasteners?

Bob's used them very effectively- see his photo archive.

i bought from zygology with an order of rivnuts, they were about £6each iirc, about £24, possibly +vat, lolocost sell them for the same price, maybe worth a call..

I got mine from the lolocost stand at stafford last year for £20 for 4. i think they were supposed to be £12 a pair, but being 18 at the time said i was building on a tight budget and as it was the end of the day, and talking to the "lad", he came down to that price.

Try not to talk to the older guy with glasses. you wouldnt get a deal out of him if you paid him

Isn't the guy with glasses Rory Perret, formerly the big cheese in the Locost Car Club.

Or am I mistaken?

Yes that man is Rory, I've found he's a thoroughly good bloke to deal with. He doesn't own Lolocost and so has to account for the bits he sells hence the inability to 'deal'. If the part's a second though, he's more than happy.

Dont bother with the dzus as they are a pain to fit and use properly,i've now purchased some of the rubber over latch type as your talking about.
Got mine from lolocost(rory perret) have a look on the website for prices,i'm sure they are the cheapest and the same as everyone elses
