bobbins (thread inserts)
8 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Hi,
I brought a spare bonnet (hood?) for my +2 in case I made a hash of getting
my original one to fit correctly.
My "new" bonnet is an early example with no hand holes in the back edge and
has been fitted as it has been painted a couple of times.
However, the bobbins (thread inserts) are made from brass hexagons, not
aluminum ovals as on my car. Was this normal for the earlier cars?
Just curious.
David
PS I may not need it now, so if it is any use to any one else they can have
it for what I paid for it, ?15, + P&P.

I once bought some replacment bobbins from one of the
suppliers...Neals or Mattys, cant remember which but they were brass,
I could be wrong but I think the originals were alloy and your bonnet
has had other fitted.

Hi david,
I'd be interested in the bonnet if it's a flat one, i.e. without
the Stromberg hump.
Cheers

Sure, what is the exchange rate on K.rands at the moment, something
like
two brass bobbins to K.rand?
Hows the leg? are you driving the Seven again yet? and hows the "23
project" coming along?
