Title: Has anyone got a spare......
Post by: TiddlesRX7 on June 04, 2009, 08:35:39 PM
Has anyone got a spare clip that that bonnet stay sits in when the bonnet is closed? Really could do with one.

No the bit that hold the bonnet up (bonnet stay) sits in a plastic clip when the bonnet is closed. The plastic clip is the bit I need.

Mines broke too.  I wonder if a standard Mazda part may fit - one that\'s readily available ?

dunno. Keep meaning to pick one up in the local scrappy but I either forget or can\'t find one that looks like it\'ll fit.

Think it must be a common item that breaks. Both of my FC\'s have lost them. My road going FC did have one when I bought it though.

Post by: g.miller on June 05, 2009, 08:38:16 PM
off the top of my head i would say not alot as i can\'t remember the price and i would have done if it would have been high, It was white though not black as per original.

The one that broke on mine was white. But I did notice the Cab I was looking at today had a black one. Strange!

Gas pipe clips might work - for the microbore stuff - might see if I can get a bag of them from B&Q if the look right
 
something similar to this...

I will bring one of these or even two if i can find them to RS for you chaps. I have bonnet dampers so dont use them any more. Free to who ever collars me first but originator of the thread will always get 1st choice.
