Sagaris Engine Cover

[san008]

Despite the known phenomenon of the engine cover moving around at speed, has anyone devised a successful method of making it more secure?

Not bovverred.

Apart from a few extra spacers on the pins, no.

It was mentioned on this forum to use neoprene. I cut some rectangular washers out of a thick old wet suit to go on the back lugs (nearest windscreen) and the panel fits much more snuggly and subsequently rattles less at speed.

I used adhesive backed neoprene at the contact points to eliminate the rattles; also on the main bonnet contact point at the bulkhead.
Also changed the spacers/tightened the nuts and bolts on the service bonnet.
Now rattle free at terminal leptons

I found with ours that pulling at the 'centre bar' between the two flaps would bow the cover enough to pop out.
To cure i removed the top pins disguarded both washers and replaced the pins with 'locktite'on the threads.The pins now stick through an extra 4mm or so.
You can't yank it out now!
