Bonnet chrome strip fastenings

[rogerbaker]

Does anyone know of a supplier for the T bolts that hold the chrome strip to the bonnet?

Hi Roger,

Afraid I can't help with a source, have you tried JCS on this? It is the kind of thing they tend to either do or know who does.

On our car I fitted it without using these by finding the right size washer and just using bolts that are just about long enough that I could grip the ends when tightening them up.

Other option might be to just tack the washer onto the bolt.

Hi, I made mine with brass nut/bolt filed down to fit, Greg Jackson

Another possible solution, after playing with a whole pile of chrome, is to use the same fixings that hold the Javelin door strips in place - they have a combination of square fixings with spring clips and also threaded bolts, presumably depending on access to the inside of the door, but should work for a Jupiter strip (even if they need cutting down slightly, but not sure that they would)

There are certainly more of those fittings in the world than can possibly be used in Javelins - digging through our pile of chrome unearthed quite a number of them but still in place on the original chrome strips. If enquiring at JCS may be worth asking them to look at the used spares for the chrome fixings from Javelin.
