OK - back again with another question - after the fantastic response I got to the last query on mesh for restoring bug proof screens - which are now looking great again! However, I've now spotted that the 4 latches which hold the pop-top in the down position are looking well past their best (see pictures). I've looked everywhere I an think of but am having great difficulty finding a like for like replacement. So - I thought I'd ask the Late Bay T2oogle search engine for advice! All thoughts welcome as ever...
Pictures aren’t good. Are they rubber? These are the jk ones https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=r..._AUIEygD&biw=320&bih=454#imgrc=b7Za_rfaKuWpdM:
I got 2 repro ones from Jk for my Westy - I went for the yellow ones instead of the original black ones(which were perishing) - but the yellow ones are too hard and difficult to pull down onto the catches
Actually they're sprung-loaded and made from chromed steel ... as the roof is originally from a US Safaré conversion!
Look at this on eBay 2 PCS For 1955-95 Jeep CJ CJ5 CJ7 CJ8 YJ Stainless Steel Chrome Catch Hood Latch Sent from my iPhone
Read this too late, could have measured the bonnet catches on my jeep, still could tomorrow if of any use ?
Steve - many thanks for the offer but I did some quick checks and think they're within a few mm of mine - so have put an order in. Thanks again for the thought though...
