Anybody know of a source?

Steven: I purchased a pair of hood straps w/ hardware from Mini Mania for my
Mini Cooper years ago. Also had a terrific PA Amish blacksmith make a pair
of short genuine leather straps for my Porsche's front hood, and a single
lined bonnet strap for my old Morgan 4/4. The Mini Mania straps were o.k.
relative to cost. Call them....800946-2642 PT.
If you aren't successful....contact me again....I'm sure I can find the
unused Mini straps on my British parts shelf.
FYI....Don Sesslar, aside from his Nat. SCCA F-P Alpine championship
ride...was also a pretty good Porsche pilot....at Sebring especially....where
he placed within the top 15 with RSKs and Porsche Carrera Abarths in five
attempts..including a 4th overall in 1959 with Bob Holbert.
