I have an old leather strap I wish to use as a bonnet strap as it will look "period" on our '57 +4.
Can anyone post a pic of how the strap is fixed to the wing.
Thanks

Tony, I'm away from my computer at thee moment otherwise I'd post a photo. The strap is held by the bonnet buffer, midway between the two bonnet catches. Unbolt the buffer, put the bolt through the strap end and refit the buffer plate.
Hope that makes sense!

Just an idea! It might be an idea to glue some sheepskin or synthetic sheepskin to the underside of the strap. Just to stop scuffs on your bonnet!

Here's a pic--a little dark, but you can see the strap is fixed by the bonnet buffer.

And even some Defendall or similar under the rub area helps.....I used the 3M's clear self adhesive protective film, used by Volvo to protect painted rear bumpers on estates for dog owners etc. Should be available from any Volvo dealer with a bodyshop. It goes on cold and warm with a hot air gun or kettle of boiling water before pulling off. As an aside its also great for sill protection under the doors. About £15 a roll which will last years or do 3 or 4 cars.
