Default Series II Bonnet Hinges Wanted

I'm looking for a pair of bonnet hinges from a Series II car. Managed to pick up a full steel bumper for my SIII car a few years ago and didn't grab the hinges! Jag part numbers are JS678 and JS679. Anyone know of a parts car around?

I have several S2 cars parting out, but I'm a long way off in Ontario Canada. If you can't find any closer....

Guys, I'm still looking for a XJ Series II parts car with bonnet hinges available to purchase. Needs to be either a Daimler or a non-Federal car that has a full steel bumper. Anyone have or know of hinges available? Thanks!

I've been searching for months and pair are not available anywhere as far as I can tell. I've got a Euro conversion bumper project in the works and I'm resigned to cutting the nose of my USA units and welding on a new euro like configuration.

Maybe just as well. The Euro hinges are not as robust as the USA ones internally. The Euro brackets have no internal structure and get crushed when tightening the through bolts. This makes them extremely difficult to remove very prone to rust.
