There are a few on abay second hand at the moment which is not normally the case. I found a seller in Poland that makes them chrome but not cheap. If you look at their link below to facebook they sell several hand made parts including the striker pin plates and various other obsolete items. How happy would you be if you got these at Xmas instead of socks. . https://www.facebook.com/MGR-PARTS-102352814708229/?__tn__=K-R&eid=ARD3QZm8KCODVL36pAShS1rbI_Hoit1CR-nxZIAM1x9q3RxwNbjdTTn0-7z3JWjRKigjflqvFuSgQdV-&fref=mentions&__xts__[0]=68.ARDcD_UVUPKb8qB8BBS5yMPM5BUHXBHNgrVb_K7Foj48bjT5dyZJ-2boalxuDNbulOY054BOtqHhd8ak_b28RNSj_McXZREt62wCUli-wD_z0csrhVmwoMOzfnxn9dK8HUT88Md9HaLdg2rEKi32t8wWA7RAW_Cxv7xArXHjdD82xzYoAHOrz8YEkVa8NErMQEUaQ9FQwTw3qUbaTuPp2jbWzmEgZ8dhaUwptS73HbZoZoYiNcBB1FI7pb_2A4ny-41BxTW9rOfBCTOauAv01zNPXr5kkn1WxYsb4DfFJnaOFSkkWjsTASAxWkGebV0cZH8 Edited June 9, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 22 Posted June 9, 2020 Isn't it Glosterox that replates the pins etc? Maybe he has some spares? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldnt be surprised though if he had a secret stash like most Corrado owners ha. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-VW-CORRADO-BONNET-PINS-G60-8V-16V-VR6/264728018068?hash=item3da304fc94:g:TP0AAOSwP4xeucK3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted June 9, 2020 Just seen this from this seller from Germany.

captainredeye 0 Posted June 10, 2020 Those guide Plates look mighty nice and one of mine is broken, I have cleaned up and plated my old pins just waiting for the springs I ordered, we will just have to wait and see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should fit if they are the same part number to be fair its just that the seller would only confirm to me they were for the VW Iltis . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'd have to be pretty desperate at that price surely! Ian did an awesome job on mine for a fraction of that. The plastic parts cleaned up pretty well too in a bath of bleach.

The plastic parts cleaned up pretty well too in a bath of bleach. Really expensive its crap. There is one part still available and that is the middle plate that the latch catches - pretty cheap . I got some second hand pins for a tenner off ebay not to long back . Edited June 10, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
