Other side of the latching hardware – this was all original pieces – including the bolts and washers – either cad plated or etch-primed. This will all be disassembled for restoration at the next shop and plated, but it’s locked solid for transport. ALL of the fitting you saw in the photos above was completed without ANY of this installed. We fit the bonnet without any help from the pegs or latches, so that it lays perfectly with the cowl and sills BEFORE all of that is in place. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s when you pull the latches on an E-Type to open the bonnet and it goes “BOING” up and out like an inch on one side – that just means it is not properly adjusted and shimmed. (and yes, mine were always like that as a kid…)
