    Bonnet closing 205

    David Simson posted a topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    Hi, I have a daily runner, a Vauxhall, and closing the bonnet is easy. I never drop bonnets; it makes me cringe. Besides, if they're set correctly there's no need to. I just push on the curved front edge (never the top of the bonnet) and the Vauxhall just clicks into place perfectly with hardly any pressure. My 205 is a whole different animal. It's unbelievably tight and I sometimes have the push 3 or 4 times really hard to get the spring on the bonnet to engage and lock into the slam panel. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a (recommended) way of adjusting it so it easily locks just by gently pushing it?

    Broken Bonnet Pin

    lemontreeman posted a topic in Body, Interior & ICE

    Hi guys, So while restoring the car we have discovered that the bonnet spring pin which locks into the latch is broken. The plastic spacer has gone and so has the spring. Does anyone know where we can source a replacement/ fix without buying a new bonnet just to get the pin. On a side note yes i could sink a couple of bonnet pins to hold it down but wanting to keep the car stock looking. any advice welcome. Thanks Thom
