Bonnet Protector

[AndrewHadji]

We are also looking at Australian and European sources for side window wind/rain deflectors as an addition to the line-up.

Please keep posted on these, if you have pictures of styles and if any of them are in channel type especially. I wont clutter this bonnet thread with that, but will PM

** if you add text (ie vehicle type) you couldn't use it on another type of 70 Series if you chose to.
The above answers vaguely reminds me of my report cards in school.

Like your teachers, my test questions may have been less than clear and perhaps redundant to some degree.

PMs, clutter, BS and general social abuse most welcome as long as it is somehow related to tech.....

Speaking of unicorns, anyone with a 73/74 interested in alternatives to sliding side windows, gaskets, runners, etc.?

QUESTION THREE - How many would you likely purchase within one year of arrival in North America?

Since my track record for holding on to a particular Cruiser isn't very good, I reserve the right to change my vote from 1 to 2 on the above question.

When I had my 73 I got both my bonnet guard and polycarbonate headlight protectors (genuine toyota) off of ebay.au. My factory owners manual too.

I simply sent a request to the seller with postal code and asked if they would mail the item to Canada explaining that its difficult to get parts in NA and confirming that I wished to purchase. Many say its too expensive and yes add a lot to the purchase prices but if you want it - you can get it. Once they know you will pay its good. Only works great with buy it now though. Auctions were harder

I will take one of the protectors at flexible pricing in whatever flavor Onur voted for, assuming he voted for whatever is the most OEM!

I haven't been keeping up with this thread but I wanted to say again that I am interested in the bonnet should you decide to batch ship them over here for resell.

I wish there was a way to edit my own posts. I meant bonnet protector, not bonnet as in the hood itself. I really need to learn the Aussie terminology as I am not familiar with it.

 

[jblueridge]

UK and Commonwealth Bonnet = Hood
Hood sometimes = soft-top.
Boot = Trunk.
Tyre = Tire
Windscreen = Windshield
Colour = Color

Duly noted - still waiting on manufacturer response

Duly noted - still waiting on manufacturer response

Did you tell the manufacturer that I'm waiting?

 

[wardharris]

Did you tell the manufacturer that I'm waiting?

I did, sir. Have you purchased another 70 Series to replace the one you sold (with a bonnet protector)?

SURVEY UPDATE

So..... do we have a preference for tall center section as immediately below or lower-profile as in lower photo?

Disregard the text content or style for the moment... thanks!

 

[elkaholic]

I am not sure I can tell the difference between the two ...

Aren't you supposed to be at home working?

1 vote ..... Lower profile.
I would assume, perhaps incorrectly, that the lower profile one would have a tad more structural integrity.
