Gucci bonnet pins have arrived
Discussion
All done and fitted, they look the dogs danglies!
As you can see the centre has a small button which releases the pin when pushed,
And yes it's to stop flappage but also to stop your bum doing telescopes when the bonnet catch fails at silly speeds and hovers about foot in the air obscuring your view,

What otherside? There is a pic of the underside of the catch, I just drilled a 2 mm pilot hole through the bonnet and onto the inner wing to mark it, then just enlarge the hole to suit.
A couple more piccies
They cost about £60 all in including £16 import tax cos the came from the states

Neal, Derek and I have the Aerocatches fitted, not as neat in a way but 100% effective!
Looks neat Richard.
I think it suits the pre 96 cars as they have the alloy bits and bobs on the body each pin has a 130lb rating so I would say they ain't coming off in a hurry.Looks neat Richard.

They are short, I fact only just enough thread to get the bottom bolt on ill take a look tomorrow and measure where I put mine on the bonnet
when you say they are short is there any leeway if you position them a few millimetres either way? need to know exactly and if position can be bettered
wheres slideways??????? yours fitted fine whats the secret?
When I say they are short you have just enough threads to get them on without putting undue stress on the bonnet when locking them closed, mine were placed in the corner of the bonnet on the passenger side just forward of the groove in the inner wing where the wiper motor sits then copy on the drivers side, I wouldn't like to give you exact measurements as you know these cars can differ and I'd hate for you to drill your bodywork and it not line up, Daz has a good idea using a female threaded adapter to lengthen the studs then you can put them anywhere.
