Here you are Oz,

This morning I made a special trip to Bunnings to obtain the info which you requested and here it is:-

The product is known as 'Cam Locks', They are manufactured by Prestige and are normally used for securing lockers , vending machines tec. (Spot on assumption by Boxhead there). They come in three projection lengths of 10mm, 16mm and 23mm. I used the 23mm one. They have a 30mm striker and require a 19mm hole through the bonnet. The original style handles which can be fitted later, use the some holes. The only modification to the original style handles, is to fit them with Cam Wedges. The striker on the 'Flat' Cam Locks is adequate and doesn't need Cam Wedges.

The part No. for the 23mm Cam Lock is 0915840, but the best way to track them down is by requesting the Bunnings Fine Line (F/L) Ref., No. of 4022044. The other good news is that the 23mm Cam Locks are $9.73 each with keys. They are found in the Hardware (Locks) section.

I haven't quoted the part Nos., for the 10mm or the 16mm projection Cam Locks as they would be too short, however if you need them, here are the F/L Nos.:- 10mm 4021938, 16mm 4023991.

They don't come with the polished oval stainless steel backing plates that fit between the locks and the duco. These were knocked up and mounted with a rubber backing to protect the paint.

If you need any more info, just ask.

I purchased these flat key operated bonnet locks from our local Bunnings store in the Hardware section for $20 each.

Bunnings Racing...I got Mate with that printed on a T shirt. He loves the place and I swear half his car came from there.

Are those aluminium coated side-pipes ? I had that coating done on a set of tee-pee heaters on my dune buggy. Man were they a pain to keep clean. That stuff absorbed everything... especially finger prints when they were hot !

[Mando]

Bet you didn't do that to often!!!

From what I know Rob they are painted with hi temp paint.

The coating looked fantastic up close. Like a coating of salt just begging to be touched..Lots of people got stung.
I believe this was the coating of the day back in the sixties. Most likely that on the daytona sidepipes.

It is just high temp paint.
Looks great for about 3 minutes then goes a nice cream, then bubbles and flakes off.
The sidepipes must get seriously hot though becuase the can says it will withstand 1200 deg f.
The alloy heads would melt at a temp not much higher than that so I would think it would be fair to say it is BS.
I like the white though, I will get them done properly one day...

It was a long time ago but I got the V-Dub headers coated somewhere in Sydney. It was cheap durable and looked good. I think the processed was called "Aluminium sprayed" or something similar. It was an industrial coating so it might exist still today.
