Those hooks look spot-on!.....with that wonky squaire-ish eye faithfully reproduced; well done. I often see these hooks on restored vehicles with a rubber grommet through the eyelets on the dash. Does anyone know if this is a period thing? Or more a way of removing rattle on a restored vehicle? I have the hooks for my C8 but haven't found a source for suitable grommets yet.

The first are two short rods attached to both sides inside the cowling.

Jacques, that rod looks so familiar, but in a different location though.....I just can't remember where.....maybe something to do with the throttle linkage on a 216 chev engine(?).
I haven't seen the rod in the location you pictured before....but it could still be an Australian period fitting.
