I bought a 19j/12j bonnet in Peterborough last year re welded the frame and and added supports for spare wheel needs new catches and spring
So the bonnet is going on a td5 which has a different catch system
Will a 200tdi and 300tdi slam panel work as i cant find a 19j one

The catch on a 19j bonnet doesn't have a cable and you just pull lever to side
You pull cable and lift lever up on td5 /tdci

My anecdotal evidence supports James Martin - i have a 'B' reg 110 making it pre 19J (it came out of the factory with a NA diesel) and it has the lever in the front grill. My brother has an 'E' reg 90 which still has its original 19J engine and it has cable release. I think the 19J engine came in at about 'D' reg.

Looking at the 2 types of bonnet i think you could get the earlier bonnet to fit a tdi slam panel but you wouldn't have the safety catch so it could blow open on the road if you hadn't closed it properly. To retrofit the safety catch you would have to cut off one of the four brackets which support the front of the bonnet.
