I think they are generally universal in fit, form and function but maybe not the same design. So the scrappy would be a good bet.

NOW it's me who is confused Mike, your happy to pay more for 2nd hand parts than you would of OE original...you really have got an aversion to paying TVR prices!

Just over a Pound each inc. postage didn't seem a bad deal, If you can do me a couple more OE ones at that price I'll gladly take 'em as spares (good chance one or two more will snap when I get around to re-assembly) smash

bodyshops often have fittings like this or can point you in the right direction to get them.
