Hi I am Vince and recently retired and thought it was about time for me to make a start on putting right a botched repair job on my 64 zodiac now that I have the time.for whatever reason someone decided to put what I can only describe as gate hinges on the bonnet, I am not that great on tech so bear with me,I’m looking for a pair of mk 3 bonnet hinges if anyone can help there will obviously be other bits as we go on but to get the main welding sorted the hinges are a priority any help or advise would be great looking forward to getting the old girl back on the road and going to meets with like minded people regards Vincent

Hello Vince and welcome!
My first suggestion to you is to join the club as you can then post in Parts Wanted and get the other benefits membership offers.
My concern is why were such bizarre hinges fitted in the first place? I would check the strut mountings and inner wings very, very csrefully. I had a catastrophic failure in the early eighties when an exhaust centre did not secure my bonnet securely and it came up and over (its very hard to drive with only sideways vision) with the hinges ripping out exposing the worse inner wing repairs I have ever seen! It is an experience best avoided!
Cheers, Michael...

If you need any panels I highly recommend Ex-Press Steel Panels (link below). They are expensive but they are always a good fit which saves lots of time...
