    Original look hood/decklid tie downs aka rubber bonnet/book hooks

    Hi. Aware of the Rennline ones, but they say they aren稚 the look of the originals. Any other providers out there?
    Hood keeps opening on rallies over the years and done using duck tape and fixing the latch and cable afterwards.

    Thanks ESR.

    I just went through this with my 73 RS. These are the hold downs you want. They are also the only ones I found with the original GHE markings on the rubber. I've got three different sets and the AASE ones are the best. The attached photo is of the original GHE with dimensions.

    I have not looked at those. Thank you both. Ed, I was behind you solo at a table at breakfast on Sunday at the Y.O. Next time I will introduce myself.

    Appreciate the thoughts and will likely buy those.
