Fit the orignal pins with a lot of copper grease.

Fer: They're not cheap over here, about eleven euros each .

Erik: Don't buy a wreck like this one is .

You don't have the old ones?

Rob i did look through my parts stock and i have 2 pins. Used. You can have them for the postage costs..

Cheers Fer, that's very kind, I haven't decided whether to fit originals or try different material yet, the pins had seized in the old panel and the bonnet, I had to cut them out to remove it. The pins would be handy to fit the bonnet properly.
Let me know about postage etc.
Thanks .

Hi Fer, the pins arrived yesterday, thank you very much .
I'll get back onto the Dyane when I've got the 2cv back on the road .

Good show, did you see there was yellow paint on them, they came out of an yellow dyane. It became a chassis donor for an accidented grey 2cv charleston. And as the engine and gearbox of the dyane were ok i left those in. It was the fastest 2cv i ever drove...
So fast he new owner missed a bend and flattened a trafic sign with it...

Always good to have the provenance of items . Always good to recycle .
Working on the 2cv has helped to get my flamin mojo back. I'll crack on with the yellow car this summer: should get the bodyshell done, to my lowish standards at least .
What a strange year it's been for all of us, everywhere; and for many, sadly it still is.
Thanks again Fer.

Always happy to help.

Got a fair bit of grinding back to do and I guess some filler work, but not today 'cos it's beer time . Having trouble with my welder, it's either too strong or not strong enough(it can't be me can it ) and issues with my automatic welding helmet. Got a horrible feeling I'm gonna get arc eye later on tonight. Haven't had that since I was an apprentice . Beer will help, better get some hankerchiefs ready .
