    Classic Filler neck rubber pipe

    If you have enough space you could use a stainless steel exhaust reducer that matches the sizes you want and then use fuel safe pipe for the rest. Could probably get an exhaust bend either made up or off the shelf if needed.

    1997 Wolf bonnet catch mechanism.

    I assume you are talking about the bush that goes in the body mounted hinge half. They go with the smaller half up when the bonnet is closed. I took a file to mine.

    Ex Mod Defender 1986 No History on ERM Search

    8 stud Wheels ???

    They have got the lugs/bump for hub caps, so pretty old. My 52 Ford pickup has 8 lug wheels (yankie) and 16” but from memory 3 lugs for the hub caps.
