Clip For Bonnet Stay

[Bobby]

I am after the clip that holds the bonnet stay from rattling around when it is in the down position.

I am not sure how they are normally attached to the radiator support panel as my car never had one when I bought it.

If anyone has a spare one I would appreciate it.

I need it posted to Maitland (near Newcastle) so need a price for item plus postage.

Or if someone could tell me what else is normally used that looks reasonably factory looking and where to buy.

Thanks.

I have been looking for a particular thing that i know would be perfect for this for years, the annoying bit is I have seen it as a kid but cant find them now...

My dad had a tool rack above his workbench, his screwdrivers were held in place with a little metal clamp, if you could imagine a U shape clamp screwed to the board with a screw through the bottom of the U.

Something like the receiver in this pic, but a simple metal clamp without all the spring loaded junk around it.
Everything these days is spring loaded and/or magnetic fancy stuff, even tried describing it to the old timer at my local bunings with no luck...
I have resorted to keeping an eye out at furniture recyclers, local dump recycling ect, but no luck yet.

Ill be following this to see what you come up with.

Edit: Holy shitballs batman!!!!!
Googling has given me a name, 'Terry Tool Clamp'

You cant tell me this wouldnt be absolutley perfect, AND look like something that would have been used in that era!!

 

 

Edit again!
Just bought this on ebay, probably shouldnt be on there while drinking haha

It's a shame that even the helpful staff at Bunnings are still woeful.

Terry clips are on the shelf at Bunnings (in the screw aisle at my local) available in 5 or so sizes.

OE ones aren't available from Nissan? I got one for the 280ZX but that was a while ago.

 A photo of the original one on my car. I have seen plastic ones on ebay from Thailand.

Banzai motorworks list a similar one for 1974 to 1978 cars.

at $7.60 from Thailand with fre postage might be worth a try.

 

Good luck
