So the piece of string attached mine running through the pulley block in garage roof and then to the garage door that lifts the bonnet when I open said garage door was missold to me at a morris minor auto bonnet lift

Re: Bonnet handle
I thought it was not recommended to use the handle/ornament/flash for a bonnet lifting rope. It isn’t robust enough. It’s safer to have a rope that loops under the bonnet.

Re: Bonnet handle
That's why it's string not rope, the weakest link, a mechanical fuse

Re: Bonnet handle
Sounds a bit of a Heath Robinson arrangement - unless this is another leg-pull..........
