Bonnet pins

Post by Pimpvehicle »

As title really, bonnet catch is unreliable and broken. If anyone has ever fitted any could they show me a picture of where they fitted them? Not really into Aero catch ones just some slide out and open ones really.

Not sure there is any where on the Cav they can be placed for function as the slam panel isn't the strongest point, and the headlights are directly underneath, so clearance won't be great either. Probably require some fabrication.

I plan on doing this to both the boot and bonnet in the near future. SO i'll keep you posted unless you do it first.

In polite terms, I think he meant "Each to his own"

Must admit, I wouldn't want to do this to my car either.

Mine is a 1995 BTCC replica, so it really needs them to make it look right.

It's a marmite thing!!

Either like 'em or loathe 'em.

Personally I'm not a fan, but then each to his own!!!

It would be boring if we all had the same tastes.

Yes. I meant that.

Actually thinking about this, some sort of aircraft spec catches which are flush would look cool.
