Bonnet pin
Anyone know what size the lock nut on the bonnet pin on a Puma is?

Thanks

Do you mean spanner size or thread dimensions?

Good question….spanner size.

Sits in between two of mine and would rather not buy 3 guessing the size.

Thanks

I've just measured mine and according to Mr Mitutoyo's finest it is 32.19mm AF. A 32mm spanner, or at a pinch a 1.1/4" AF spanner, should do the job.

Be aware that there are two different pins used on late Defenders as I found out the expensive way when mine needed replacing (the bonnet kept popping open whilst driving, which is disturbing). I think the nut is the same however.

Awesome thanks.

Remember the bonnet on one of my minis popping up on the motorway…..bit of a bum clencher!
