Roof Catches

[Gerald-TVR]

Any idea for a current source, RS used to do them but I cant find then on their web site

[Griffinr]

Never had any on mine, roof seems tight without. Do Southco do anything? can't remember what the originals looked like.

Yes. Southco E8-10-502-20 was the original part fitted by TVR

yep both correct should have said I had got the Southco details/part number but was looking for a supplier as they only deal with distributers

Thanks Rob have spoken to Southco but the distributors either want quantity or have high minimum order value, difficult when you only want one

Norman, in the past I have found these people very helpful and prepared to sell small quantities

www.zygology.com

I bought some stainless steel types which are the same as the ones Leven used to do. I've got the relevant data sheet somewhere (pdf file). Drop me a mail if you want the details.

Norman, do you have any experience with these? Are they a straight forward fit given the existing screw holes from the original catches?
Always fancied some stainless or chrome version as the originals are a bit flimsy.
