S3 Boot lock

[Brian Walton]

Does anybody know what the S3 boot lock handle came off. There is a blank in the R&R book.

This probably won't help your cause, but I'm pretty sure they were designed specifically for the Elite (type 14) and were fitted to early Plus 2 cars as well. I've only seen one on ebay, and that went for ?50 or so....I guess that they are very hard to get hold of.
It may be worth trying Miles Wilkens of Fibreglass Services...he has restored many Elites over the years and has had a lot of bits re-made for them.

I believe that the S3 boot handle came from one of the Reliant 3 wheeler range.

Try a company called Weston Body Hardware

They do a huge range of chrome parts. According to book by Robinshaw & Ross the L shaped boot handle came from the Reliant van.
