Yep, the two mid point nuts are retained, need only be finger tight. The long stays are hinged from the wing and when raised clip to the edge of the raised bonnet in exactly the same away the service stay works (ball and cup type fixings). A strip of Valcro is wrapped around the stay and fixes to another piece stuck on top of the wheel arch to locate them when folded down. The respective fixings are riveted to f/glass with addition of s/s reinforcement strips.
Thanks I wondered what the black strip was on the stay smile
