As 289 from Cambridge says, your best bet is to give Gerry a call. The circular base items are non-locking btw.

Gerry is not the most forthcoming of guys sometimes, but thats just how he is - i am sure he can give you a price - i asked for these as a christmas present and my (highly non-technical) Dad phoned Gerry and sorted out delivery.

Mine are fitted to a grp bonnet/hood as follow:

Major hole drilled for the shaft which goes through the top surface of the hood/bonnet. The shaft of the handle then exits the underside of the bonnet through the lower surface of the re-enforcing rib of the grp moulding - this is like a large ridge about an inch or 2 inside the outer perimeter of the underside of the hood on my car, in a similar way to the re-enforcing steel tube on an ali hood - i assume your car has something similar underneath?

on the top surface, two holes are drilled either side of the shaft hole for securing the circular escutcheon plate. screws then thread through this hole and into corresponding captive rivnuts underneath, held in place on the lower surface of the rib ridge.

A cam is added to the shaft to secure it onto an L-shaped bracket on the car - this bit is non-authentic, as the hook on a budget lock would perform this task on an ali-based original car.

Hope thats useful.

Kevin
