Search ebay for “quick release swivel ball joints”... or google “bearing boys” plenty available in different sizes for just a fistful of £s then you can make up your own stays exactly like, but at a fraction of the cost, of commercial ones.

I’m sure Heart of England still do the bonnet stay kits.

I used item QM5 from bearingboys.co.uk in conjunction with M5 hex connectors from ScrewFix and 6mm dia aluminium alloy rods from Amazon subsequently threaded M5 at each end.

A ball housing with threaded rod, also from bearingboys, provides support with rotation facility at the base of the rod.

Can’t remember exactly how much, but in the order of £20 and a few pleasant hours at the workbench.

PM me for photos as unfortunately I need a numpties guide on how to post pics on TM!

Had those on previous Mogs before Wolf existed, worked fine

Does anyone know why Wolf's bonnet stays have become unavailable.

My guess would be that Cain's been too busy to make a batch up?

As Morganeer Chris has noted, it's not hard to make some. You can get 6mm ally rod from Screwfix for £2.99 a metre.

Do these one's lock? I have been waiting for Wolf's bonnet stays for some time. Looking for an alternative that locks so wind can't blow the stay off. Had a couple of close shaves at car shows in the past.
