W123 Left Side Bonnet Hinge (Late)

[jackafrica]

Looking for an intact, complete with unbroken latch mechanism, LEFT hand bonnet hinge.
This is the front part of the hinge, call it the D shaped part.
Held on by a large nut and clip at the bottom in the engine bay and another large nut at the top on the bonnet. Both accessible without removing anything else.

The latch mechanism, or locking tab breaks or is sometimes squashed.

Needs to be from either an '83, '84 or '85 model car as far as I can tell.
There was a difference in the hinges on the earlier model W123.
Doesn't matter if it is from a sedan, coupe or wagon.

I really, really would like to buy one and have tried a number of places in Australia without any luck.

Thanks, Royal Mail Small Package postage is the way to go for shipping.

I appreciate you contacting me either via a PM or email.

Hi blokes,this bonnet hinge, is so easy to remove.
A 22mm spanner for the bolt and a 17mm to hold the nut. that's the top part off. Down the bottom, near the battery you remove the retaining clip with your fingers, or a screwdriver and it's off.

The main part of the hinge holding the bonnet remains in place.

Surely, there must be one out there?
I came across a pair of chicken lips when looking for the needle in the haystack, which I located yesterday.

Puh leez, some one, help!

Cheers
