<div>I bought a brand new boot frame (skinless boot lid) from British Heritage
and after some minor attention from myself (including removing the fitting for
the later type boot prop that asked NOT to be fitted to it) it's with the panel
guy for skinning and spoiler fabrication. I can't drill and re-chrome my
spare boot handle as it's fitted to the boot lid he is copying the spoiler from
(back of spoiler is snug to the handle).</div>

<div>One thing I might do is buy some aluminium rod and make an aluminium bonnet
prop.</div>

<div>Hi list,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The search is over - I bought I used one from ebay that cost me
£7.75. It will go on the spare boot lid that is being re-skinned in
aluminium alloy and having a spoiler fitted to it for . After that I'll
have it re-chromed.</div>

<div>Does anyone have a used (condition not important) early boot handle -
doesn't need to have a lock barrel or key they can sell and post me to the
UK?</div>
