Good day knowledgeable enthusiast …….. I need a little help identifying a bit of my Aero8.
On the boot of the car I have two chrome fittings which I know hold the back of the hood cover when the hood is down and the cover in place. The fittings however have a screw thread in the top like something was intended to be screwed into the hole to hold something else in place.
The screw thread does not go through into the recess that the hood cover clips into, so it cannot be for holding the cover tight when in place.
I gave the car a good fettle when I got it and apart from the odd bit of bacon butty, there were no loose bits in the car, and certainly no additional chrome bits so I have nothing to screw into the holes. Pictures below ………..
I have searched spares and accessories for the Aero8, but have not seen anything like the fittings that are on the car.
Can anyone identify the fittings and more importantly what is the purpose of the screwed thread ??
Many thanks for your help …………. Pete
