A few odd-ball parts needed

There are a couple of odd-ball parts we need. (1) The after-market spring for the bonnet safety-hook is too small (3/4”) to fit over the bush, we need one of the larger ones. (2) The clip that holds the ignition/lights switch in place from behind the dash. (3) The bell that goes behind the dash on the washer pump.
We are still hoping to purchase an original grease-gun.
Are there any of the repro hood emblems, or horn emblems, that look as good as the originals? Ours are good, but faded. I suppose it might be better to leave them, but they do stand out a bit.

Moss hood emblime is Heratige, as good as it gets. In fact it is outstanding.
 
I just got done rummaging in the parts bins cuz I thought I might have the combo switch retainer wire clip, but sorry, no luck finding it. I will continue the hunt though! Jack is right about the Moss hood emblem though (I've had to buy two!)
 
VB has all the hood catch componets and they work. Yrs. ago I didn't even realize they existed and had the horror of horrors happen at highway speeds. Thankfully a couple of sprung struts was the only damage, (and the need of clean underwear). It is a part that is often forgotten about. At our all Brit car show in KC their were 8 Bugeyes and mine was the only one with the catch.
 
Hehe, if you have a 948 the bonnet will not come up. Down side to the 1275.
