Good looking fixings there, in keeping with the boot hinge as you demonstrated. Being a numpty here, but is this mod to counter the bonnet lift i've heard about, but never experienced? I always assumed it was lift at the leading edge, maybe only at warp factor leptons.

The left side near the windscreen is prone to a little fluttering at higher speeds. The driver often doesn't notice it, but it can make first time passengers a little nervous

So how do they work ? ie, how do you release them to open the bonnet

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

I like the look and idea of these, very nice. I wonder if they would do reduced cost if we could get a few bought at once

Neal, Derek and I have the Aerocatches fitted, not as neat in a way but 100% effective!
Looks neat Richard.
