Bonnet/hood strut bolts/fixings?

Post by Tedri Mark »

Hello! I need to get new struts for my 67 912, which I think I'm going to get from here:

These: https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/ ... -430n.html

But what fixings do I need to attach them?

I've never used that type of clip - always used R-clips like this (through the hole in the clevis pin) :

I thought the plain headed pin drilled for R clips was factory! (sorry, 1973 factory build) as Andy's pic above I think is correct.
Same system for the engine cover too.
