    Part that bonnet support rod swivells on

    Greetings

    I have a GQ SWB and the little round part that the bonnet support rod swivels around in is broken (I have attached an image). It is the part at the top of the engine bay that makes it easy to swivel the rod up and down when you need to hold bonnet open, or to close bonnet.

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement or what I could use in its place.

    Thanks

    Yeah I lost mine about 12 months ago damn it. I have just figured out how to use it without it.

    If you know where to get it and what it actually looks like that'd be great

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
