Been busy making a couple of bonnet catches.

Made from stainless, tig welded, cleaned with pickling paste then polished. The shaped bar was formed by heating to cherry red then placing in a jig i machined to be sure both were bent to the identical shape, the other parts were turned and threaded on a lathe.

This picture has the catches fitted to the bonnet in the top right hand corner.


Also been to see a local guy i know who does sign writing etc and he is going to make and apply the decals to the car once it through the mot.
