Hi,
They're available as repro items from the Capri Club.
http://capriclub.co.uk/bonnet-blocks?se ... /%20Mk%203

Also available used.

They seem expensive, but if the bodyshop lost your old ones they should pay for replacements.

You can also get them from Tickover, about £8 each ex vat -

Burton Power do them too, just over £9

They are expensive these things aren't they.

I seem to remember them being about £4 30 years ago from Ford. If they're £8 now that doesn't seem too bad after inflation.
