Bonnet prop rod - photos please

[The ho har's]

We have Scallops "Matilda" here for a visit to get her ready for a roadworthy and registration..


Matilda has no Bonnet prop rod (we are using a bit of wood..most unlady like) so can we have photos and measurements so we can make one

thanks

You have a thousand series LR's in your yard....rat one off one of them
AFAIK from memory they are basically the same if not identical

they are not the same we tried that...series 1 is in the middle of the bonnet and the later series don't fit it fowls on the motor

86" bonnet prop
10 mm dia
2 foot 1 inch long to pivot rivit...
bracket 2"x2"x1 1/2 with a kink along the centre
so bolt heads is level with inner guard..............

I might have stuffed up Thinking........
it could be a 80" one on a 86 guard

I've got a spare one I'd be willing to part with.(part no 303956) I don't have the bracket that bolts to the radiator panel . S1 86 /107 on passenger side ,88/109 drivers side.Same rod different bracket.If you're interested PM me.

the bracket is on the raditor and the bonnet...scallops just needs the rod...he is down the shed working he will PM you when he gets home

Slight mistake! On the 86/107 the bracket is bolted to the mudguard,on the88/109 to the radiator panel.

On my 1956 107, Passengers side mounted. Top rod is 369mm, bottom rod is 401mm
If you need more detail I could probably remove it and take some proper photos.

The bracket to take the bonnet prop mount looks original to me and is not at the side as per the Series 2's and 3's that lie all around me! - I think we'll just make one using the measurements provided - thanks everyone for your help.

As mentioned - mine is a 86 chassis (1955) with 1957 engine, axles and panels. It's all a bit confusing.

Got heaps done today - I'll post a thread later with all the details - if Kat lets me "waste" more time today doing LR stuff!
