Some time ago I bought some heavy-duty bonnet springs from a gentleman on the forum. He had them made new, in a neat silver finish. I put them on my wagon, and was really impressed with them.
Sadly, I cannot find his contact details (my Private Messages list runneth over).
I need to buy another pair for Grace's ute. The pair that are on it are that weak that the bonnet vibrates shut. Have had a few smacks to the back of the head. Not too keen on installing a NASCO bonnet holder upperer (broomstick).
Can anyone remember who was selling these please?
Cheers,
Harv

Re: Heavy-duty bonnet springs
Thanks guys.
I can't find the eBay listing for the heavy duty springs, but I can find one for Earlybits selling the helper springs:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-BONNET- ... XQGQRSCIZO
... kinda looks like Bunnings springs to me.
Thanks for the offer Billy, though I am pretty keen to get the heavy duty ones. The bloke was selling a really nice product, and was great to deal with. Stupid me should have kept his details.

Harv,
Don't know if this is the seller, slingshot180 on eBay, he sells a lot of stainless stuff, i.e. brake cylinder pistons etc, he did have heavy duty bonnet springs listed last year. I think he's in Sydney.
