Crap, I scrapped a BX recentley and never removed said catch. If I find one though I'll fire it over to you Jon.

Thats not too bad Jon, I put an engine and box through a windscreen once on a crane...

I managed to clout mine when I took the 16v engine out, but luckily I managed to bend it back into shape

i've got a Xantia one currently fitted to mine (has a slightly shallower profile) and has been there and working for many years, infact its the only thing that has worked reliably since fitted

It wasn't all bad mate, the car was a scrapper anyway! By the time I'd destroyed the windshield, I'd already gas-axed the front off!!

Although, yeah, I hadn't actually intended to put the engine through the glass, it just kinda, well, happened, too many

see!

Ah! slight difference then! I thought you meant you'd put it through the windscreen of a decent car.

When it's a scrapper anyway you do tend to do things differently don't you. I wanted to keep the engine and front suspension of a BX... so just cut it off at the bottom of the A-pillars, and across the floor just in front of the gearstick...

Saw this somewhat late - if anyone else has need of a catch PM me as the spares box has more than one in it.
