Q for the Quik Latch bonnet catch crew

[Pupp]

What size did you go for - there seem to be two; the regular and the mini (with quite a marked price difference). Is the mini man enough for the job and are longer pins needed?

i'd like to know this as well.
On the way to the MOT station the oil relief valve got stuck, pressure dropped and lots of noise.
Went to check under the bonnet (didn't know what the problem was at the time) and the release wouldn't work, the cable had slipped from the guide on the latch, tried for about 30mins with all kinds of tools and couldn't get in, ended up forcing it forward so the pin popped out the latch.
Think i'll change to different latches to make sure it can't happen in the future

After looking at various demo vids I've gone for a pair of mini's on my S1
