This is the hook part with a spring and spacer only. This fits all Classic Minis and Clubmans, as the bracket it attaches to is on all bonnets unless broken. The spring loaded catch is designed to keep the bonnet from blowing open while driving should the latch either fail or not close completely. The catch is simply pinned to the bracket that is part of the bonnet located on the right front corner.

All Midgets and all Sprites from the Mk2-on had a very justified safety catch on the front hood or bonnet. The spring loaded catch is designed to keep the bonnet from blowing open while driving should the latch either fail or not close completely. The catch is simply pinned to a boss that is part of the bonnet located on the right front corner.
