Re: bonnet latch

The sliding plates have elongated holes ,perhaps they are clogged up with hard grease.I would pull it apart.I have just looked at the Moss cat ,there are spacers under the slider,maybe worn.

Re: Fuel Leak

It has been knurled at the end,to stop it coming loose.I have removed them.using a pair of pliers.Open the pliers and with one jaw over the end of the pin and the other on the metal where it is entered ,squeeze the pliers.

Do it over a piece of cloth,so you don't loose it.
