I was able to line mine up identically due to the rust :bigcry: :hahaha:.

They also adjust for length, which is what I missed initially. If they're not wound out enough, they don't trigger the SMG microswitch.

Don’t suppose you have a list of the part numbers handy? Certainly seems like the most cost effective solution to refreshing those parts!

I did the same a couple of years ago - very worthwhile cosmetically. The only thing you have to watch is that you adjust the new strikers so that they activate the SMG bonnet relay properly. Guess what I didn't do initially...

I also took the strut brace off and painted the scratched bits black.

I recently replaced mine (September last year), along with the headlight bolts - it was £85 in total for everything . It took less than 20 mins start to finish.

Makes a huge difference and lifts the engine bay:thumbs:

Did you replace them Paul?
If so what was the cost and was it straightforward?

No never did anything with them..
I am away to re commission the car after a 4yr laid up period in storage so I will remove and refurb them prior to it going back on the road.

^^^Decent looking motor that^^^

Mine also had rusty catches. Well one of them was anyway, was slightly annoying every time the bonnet was lifted :hahaha: :banghead:

Got to be worth a look - apart from the annoyingly rusty fasteners under the bonnet it looks nice

Not sure how many owners?
