Wanted bits for my 461
Hello all I am after a couple of daft parts for my 461 ,
A bonnet locking catch as mines missing ,
A star for the bonnet it will hopefully stop people calling it a landrover ,,,
Has anyone got the part number for the cover that fits inside the spare wheel on the German wolf ?
Cheers

Note it is designed to mount to the studs on the carrier - if you bolt on the spare wheel you will have to use a couple of spare wheel bolts from behind like I do
I bought a star for a unimog, it's a bit bigger and you will have to paint it but much cheaper.
Don't worry 'bout the landrover brigade - you will never educate them nor the jeep folk either
The spring or bonnet catch is the same on W460, W461 and some models of W463; in particular the early models, like the 300G's but not the likes of the latter G320, G400 or G500.

I am sure he must have plenty second hand one's in stock. You may ask him for a badge as well.
Generally, noticing the Wolf's in particular do not have any wheel cover on the military models, but other G-Wagen models use a basic vynall cover, painted green.
The moulded cover shown by dentsmithy; I suppose, does fit Wolf's, in order to "Civilian-ise" them; I feel these were intended for the W461's until some one had a bright idea to apply it to the Wolfs'.

Ps, came across a nice restoration of a Wolf, the detailing is immaculate:
