Converting a Series 3 Station Wagon to a canvas top with spare wheel holder on the bonnet. Bought a spare military bonnet (with the military bonnet holder catches as the front panel has been cut so doesn't have the bonnet pin striker option) but only have 2 of the spare wheel strap staples with holes for the 3rd. Cant seem to get one anywhere. Anyone have one knocking around or know where I could get one?
Dont want to buy another military bonnet just for the staples.

Thought I'd found some at Land Rover Parts Group but although they list them on the website and I'd gone through to payment and order confirmation, they then contacted me to say they didnt have any. Very frustrating.

It is but no stock anywhere. The bonnet I bought only had 2 with holes for the 3rd - thought it would be easy getting a spare but obviously not. Cant use the spare wheel strap with only 2.

Thats for part number RRC3966 which is about half the length of the one I'm after, just a mini version. I've got 4 of them (RRC3966) now as the site I bought from had RRC3966 as superseding the part I wanted but they've now changed the website as it clearly isn't.

RRC3966 below. The larger one (335772) is the one I've removed before I cleaned the 200 layers of black and drab paint off the bonnet, now 1/2 the weight!!
