Vixen Bonnet Catches

[pistolar]

My vixen was bought as a pile of bits with the bonnet catches missing and i have the following questions:

1. I have purchased a pair of anglia bonnet catches for the bulkhead, do i use the standard pull lever and handle?
2. Are the catches bolted direct onto the bulkhead or is there a spacer?

thanks for any help

Hi,

I can only quote what is fitted to mine, I'm not sure what the standard pull lever and handle look like but I have an operating rod fitted to the catch that feeds through the bulkhead to a black plastic T pull handle that is threaded onto the end.

My catches are directly bolted onto the bulkhead with no spacer and they seem to line up okay with the spring pins on the bonnet.
